[net.cooks] corn muffin recipe wanted

nrf@whuxlm.UUCP (Fildes N R) (09/18/85)

I am seriously looking for a recipe for corn muffins.  I am looking for a very
rich muffin that has hearty corn taste but doesn't crumble.

Thanks in advance!

					     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good luck!  I have yet to see one that doesn't.  Let me know if you find one,
though.  My wife would probably like to try making it (and I eating same).

From the HPBooks Cooking with Compliments:

Buttermilk Corn Bread
This corn bread is special because it doesn't fall apart!

2 eggs				1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar			3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted flour		1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup cornmeal		1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat oven to 400 deg.  Butter and flour an 8 x 8 x 2 baking dish.  Beat
eggs in a large bowl.  Add sugar and mix well.  Sift and measure flour.  Sift
again with cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add dry ingredients
alternately with buttermilk to egg-sugar mixture.  Stir in melted butter and
pour into prepared baking dish.  Bake about 25 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out dry.  Makes 8 to 12 servings.


First of all, this book is no longer in print as far as I know, so I hope its
ok to give out a recipe from it.  Secondly, I have made this recipe many times
and it is the best cornbread to my taste.  It really does hold together too.
I don't think there would be any problem baking it as muffins, probably just
shorten the baking time a few minutes.

An adaptation a friend gave me -- sorry purists, but this was
the recipe:

Mix one package corn muffin mix per directions.  Add a tsp.
