Ingredients

Muffin Batter

  • 14 grams unsalted butter about 1 Tablespoon
  • 2 ears corn
  • 175 grams milk, 2% or whole about 3/4 cup
  • 56 grams unsalted butter, melted about 4 Tablespoons
  • 100 grams sourdough discard 100% hydration, about 1/2 cup
  • 2 large eggs about 100 grams
  • 45 grams sugar about 3 Tablespoons
  • 5 grams vanilla extract about 1 teaspoon
  • 190 grams all-purpose flour about 1 1/3 cups
  • 14 grams baking powder about 1 Tablespoon
  • 4 grams salt about 1/2 teaspoon
  • 30 grams softened unsalted butter about 2 Tablespoons
  • 20 grams honey about 1 Tablespoon
  • a sprinkle of ground cinnamon

Method

Preparation

  • Start by making fresh corn polenta. Cook the corn until tender, then blend it into a smooth mixture. Allow it to cool.
  • In a bowl, mix the melted butter with milk, sourdough discard, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
  • In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
  • Fold in the cooled corn polenta and fresh corn.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until they are about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Topping

  • While muffins cool, mix softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the topping. Spread on warm muffins.

Notes

These muffins are best served warm. You can enjoy them on their own or add a dollop of the honey butter topping for an extra sweet touch. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. Store in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
