Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake by Rebecca chose Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins on page 6 of Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan for this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie project.I think a lot of people had the same idea about a nice pot of chili and these muffins - and well...it goes wonderfully together on a cold January night - the chili, the muffins and the warmth you feel after eating these.
I would have to say, they are very colorful, even though I didn't use the cilantro. (We are a 'no cilantro' family.) They tasted fine without it, I will have to say. The only problem I saw was that mine were a little on the dry side. I'm used to corn muffins that stick together a little bit - and these just seemed to crumble in my hand. I didn't think I baked them too long, the only thing I can think of was that I used frozen white shoepeg corn that seemed a little smaller than the usual yellow corn. (I couldn't find any frozen corn in the store that didn't have butter sauce in the package!!) My husband really enjoyed these.
It looks so pretty getting all mixed up!
Mmmm...warm and buttery fresh out of the oven! Thanks Rebecca for this weeks pick and thanks that it wasn't something sweet! You can find the recipe on Rebecca's blog or in Dorie's cookbook.

Weren't they wonderful?!?!?!
I needed a break from the sweet stuff, too. Especially between Christmas and Valentine's Day. Yikes.
I used the frozen white shoepeg (which I chopped) - I think they crumbly must have had to do with variations in the cornmeal(s) used? Next time, add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream - it might help.

Yum! Your muffins look great!
These were so good...of course, what wouldn't be with a puddle of butter in the middle?
It was nice to have a little break! Yours look fantastic.. I want to lick swim in that butter! Hahahah!
Mmmmm. Melted butter on a warm muffin.
