Dorie Corn Muffins Take 2 (but BETTER!)

I made these Savory Corn Muffins from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours over a year ago and wanted to try them again. This time I decided to put my own spin on it by adding some chopped ham to the mix and topping them with some shredded cheese for extra goodness! This is definitely a meal in a muffin!

Ingredients: (12 muffins)


1 c all-purpose flour
1 c yellow cornmeal
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 c buttermilk
1 stick (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg yolk
1/2 c corn kernels
1/2 c chopped ham
1/4 c shredded cheese


Prep:


1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or line 12 muffin cups.


2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper.


3. In a large glass measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and egg yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir to blend. Stir in corn and ham. Batter will be lumpy.


4. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
