Greetings, /cf/.

I decided to make corn muffins today (yesterday, now), and had the idea to throw in some diced bacon/onion/apple. It seems that they've turned out fairly well, so I thought to share them with everyone here. (Not literally, make your own.)

Having little experience with corn muffins other than quick Jiffy mixes, I pulled up a decent looking recipe to start from and change. Here's a link to the original, and then I'll detail my delicious deviations: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/corn-muffins-recipe/index.html


Ingredients
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar/maple sugar
1 1/3 cup medium cornmeal
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk/kefir/buttermilk
1/2 pound salted butter, melted and cooled
2 extra-large eggs
1 slice leftover bacon, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1/2 small apple, diced

Preheat oven to 350° F.

First thing to do is chop up your flavorings!

Now, into the frying pan with them! The bacon went in first, onions midway, and the apple got seared for a few seconds at the end. I removed it from the heat immediately, since it gets a second cooking in the oven.

Next, move onto your main ingredients. Combine your dry ones first, and then the wet ones. I whisked up the eggs + milk (really, kefir) first, and then melted the butter....but then I had really hot butter. In order to avoid curdling the eggs, I slowly whisked the other wet ingredients into the hot butter.

FInally, it's time to dump it all in one container. Mix well until just combined, and don't overmix.

The batter was so thick, I had to spoon it into the muffin tins. They were well greased with bacon grease. I put the muffin tins into the freezer for a few minutes before greasing them so that the bacon grease solidified onto the cold metal. That way it didn't get scraped off by the batter, and no muffins stuck during baking.

If I was a guy I would want to have babies with you, this is amazing! I'm going to try this out sometime. Bacon seals the deal.

Thanks! Have you tried them out? I would definitely recommend adding more bacon. They were quite tasty, but I kept wanting to find MORE bacon bits as I ate them.
