I made some yummy cheddar cornbread muffins to go along with some chili I made. The cornmeal is local from Whole Grain in Welcome, MN. I adapted a skillet cornbread recipe to muffins and also used half raw milk mild cheddar and half white cheddar from Wisconsin. It turned out great!
Cheddar Cornbread
adapted from marthastewart.com
Serves 5.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces) plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
- 1 Chopped Jalepeno (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pepper; make a well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk and eggs to well, and whisk to loosen eggs. Gently incorporate dry ingredients, then mix in cheese.
- Brush inside of muffin tin with melted butter. I used the large muffin tins.
- Pour batter into prepared muffin tin and sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cornbread cool in muffin tins for at least 5 minutes before removing and setting on cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Wrap completely cooled muffins in plastic, and store at room temperature up to 1 day.
