How to Make Savory Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin in the oven while it preheats.
  2. In a 1-quart Pyrex measuring cup, microwave 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn until boiling. Stir in 1 cup fine cornmeal to create a thick paste. Microwave in 30-second intervals if needed until a very thick, stiff mush forms.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup fine cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and lightly coat the cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. For picnics, store cooled muffins in plastic wrap for up to one day.
