Corn Muffins a la Kenny Rogers

Connie Veneracion
Straight out of the oven, these corn muffins a la Kenny Rogers are just gorgeous — crusty outside, soft inside. Serve with fried chicken (traditional) or as a snack.

Servings 12 large muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ears sweet yellow corn cooked
  • ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup yellow cornmeal
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Shred the corn using a sharp knife. Don’t cut too close to the cob. You can scrape off what you can’t cut.

  • Place the softened butter, sugar, honey and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a wire whisk (you can use a hand mixer but it really isn’t necessary) until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt and yellow cornmeal. Mix together, pouring in the milk as you do.

  • When the batter is smooth, add the shredded corn and fold in.
  • Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25 minutes.
  • They’re ready to eat as soon as they’re cool enough not to scorch your hands and tongue.

Notes

Can white cornmeal be substituted for yellow cornmeal?

I tried substituting. I baked a dozen corn muffins using white cornmeal. In terms of texture, there is not much difference.
White cornmeal is made from white corn; yellow cornmeal is made from yellow corn. In terms of color, the difference is marked. In terms of nutrient, is there a difference? According to one site, the presence of beta carotene in yellow corn (that’s what makes it yellow) makes it more nutritious because the beta carotene is transformed into Vitamin A during digestion.

But whether that nutritioinal edge is retained in cornmeal, my research yielded no definitive answer.
