Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 small red Fresno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 medium poblano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- Salt
- 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium saute pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter. Once the butter has melted add the onions and the peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Stir in the corn and cook until heated through. Set aside to cool.
Melt the remanding butter in a small pan over low heat and once melted, remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another large bowl, add the buttermilk and the eggs. Whisk lightly until combined. Using the well method, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together until combined. Add the sauteed vegetables with the melted butter and the shredded cheese and continue to fold. The batter will be very thick.
Using a 1/2 cup measure, evenly scoop the batter into the muffin tin. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before serving.

I thought this came out very very good. It's not ment to be sweet. I wonder if people who didn't think it was sicy didn't have a spicy pepper. Sometimes the individual jalapeño is not hot. This was very good, very moist. I could not believe they only baked for10mins, but turned out great! My hubby and sons loved them.

I didn't have the chilies they called for, but had grilled hatch chilies that I froze last season. They made a good substitution. I also added about 1/4 cup of sugar because I had a feeling it needed it. Cooking time took about 15 minutes rather than the 10 minutes as indicated on the recipe. I think the sugar made all the difference.
