Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 to 2 fresh jalapenos, minced
- 3/4 cup grated mild Cheddar
- 3 ounces cream cheese or fresh, mild goat cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup blue cornmeal, preferably stone-ground (may substitute yellow cornmeal)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 24 (4-inch) strips of fresh or dried corn husks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease the muffin tins. Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer or food processor. Add the eggs, milk, jalapenos, and cheeses, mixing well after each addition. Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Spoon the dry mixture into the batter about 1/3 at a time, again mixing well after each addition. Stir in the poppy seeds at the end.
Line each muffin tin with 2 criss-cross strips of corn husks. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I haven't been able to find blue corn meal, but it's fantastic with the yellow. I also like to add a small can of drained, niblet corn to the recipe.

I have made these muffins on several occasions now. I have used Blue Corn as well as Yellow Corn. Have used husks, not used husks and also made them in large sheet pans as bread. Moist and flavorful. Thanks Bobby!
