Cornmeal-Cheddar Muffins
Use Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers to add a bit of heat. Sprinkling cheese on the top before baking gives the muffins a nice crust. These are a delicious accompaniment to either stew. Store cooked muffins in an airtight container for up to two days.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in 3 tablespoons cheese. Combine buttermilk, water, and egg, stirring with a whisk. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
Step 3
Divide batter evenly among 10 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle batter evenly with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool muffins completely on a wire rack.
Step 4
Note: Place in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bags, and freeze for up to 3 months.
