How to Make Dorie Greenspan's Corniest Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray, or line it with paper liners. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin tin.
  3. Place the prepared muffin tin on a baking sheet for stability.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 ½ cups buttermilk, ⅓ cup (6 tablespoons) melted unsalted butter, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 large egg yolk.
  6. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  7. Stir in 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen corn kernels.
  8. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
