What do I need?
You will need;
1 large bowl
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Dough whisk or a wooden spoon
Plain flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Flavoursome cheese (like Tasty or Colby)
Corn
Eggs
Oil
Milk
Parsley
Cayenne pepper (additional ingredient – not essential)
Paprika (additional ingredient – not essential)
Ham or bacon (additional ingredient – not essential)
What type of corn should I use?
You can use a drained can of corn kernels, or frozen corn.
Both will work perfectly well.
Do not use creamed corn.
How do I prepare my muffin tray?
If you are using a silicon muffin tray you will not need to grease it. Allow the muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes when you take them out of the oven before turning them upside down onto a cooling rack. They should just pop right out with a little tap on the bottom.
If you are using a metal tray use a pastry brush to paint a little melted butter or oil around each muffin hole.
Could I use paper muffin cases?
It is not advised to use the paper cases as the muffin doesn’t have a high oil content and the muffin will stick to the paper cases.
Do they freeze well?
They sure do!
Simply cook, cool and pop into an airtight container or reusable freezer bag. Simply take out as many as you need each morning and allow time for them to thaw. You could place them straight into your school lunches, or warm slightly and serve at home.
Could I use self raising flour?
You could – Just make sure to amend the recipe.
Use 2 cups of self raising flour and 1 tsp of baking powder (there will be no need to add the baking soda).
