Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup fresh corn kernels
3/4 teaspoon plus pinch 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, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon minced seeded green jalapenos
1 tablespoon minced seeded red jalapenos
3 tablespoons honey
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 14 regular sized muffin tin cups.
- In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn and a pinch of salt and cook 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, 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.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared tins, filling 3/4 of the way full. (If there are empty cups in a tin, fill with water.) Bake the muffins until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve warm.
