Jalapeno Corn Muffins
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2005

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup fresh corn kernels
Pinch salt plus 3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon minced green jalapeno, seeds and stem removed
1 tablespoon minced red jalapeno, seeds and stem removed
3 tablespoons honey

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small saute pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and
golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fresh corn and a pinch of salt and cook an additional 3 to 4
minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne
pepper, and cheese. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, jalapenos, and
honey. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Stir in the
cooled onions and corn.

Directions
Spoon the batter into lightly greased, regular size muffin tins, filling
3/4 of the way full. Bake muffins for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into
the center comes out clean. Remove from muffin tins and cool on wire rack. Serve warm.
