Ingredients

12 servings

  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal, divided
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 12-cup muffin tin (with standard-sized molds of 12-cup capacity) in oven to heat while preparing batter.
  • Microwave creamed corn in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup to a full boil (or in a medium saucepan over medium heat). Stir in 1 cup of the cornmeal to make a very thick, pasty mush. If the mush is not stiff, microwave an additional 30 seconds or so. Whisk in buttermilk, then eggs and finally butter.
  • Mix remaining cornmeal with flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
  • Remove muffin tin from oven; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among cups (a spring-action ice cream scoop works well).
  • Bake until golden brown on sides and bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn onto a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Serve.
