How to Make Southwest Blue Corn Sticks

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 12-cup corn stick pan or 12-cup muffin tin. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of cornmeal into the pan to coat.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  10. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  11. Spoon the batter into the prepared corn stick pan or muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing the corn sticks.
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
