How to Make Blue Cornmeal Muffins With Chile Butter

  1. **Prepare Chile Butter:**
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter or margarine with 1/4 cup finely chopped green chiles. Mix until well blended.
  3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. **Prepare Muffins:**
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Generously grease 18 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
  8. Stir in 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup finely chopped green chiles.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups blue cornmeal, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  10. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once and stir gently just until the cornmeal is moistened. Do not overmix.
  11. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are light golden brown.
  13. Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Serve warm with a generous dollop of chile butter.
