Corn Muffins Baked In A Cast Iron Pan Food

CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. (I prefer to use non-stick cooking spray so the muffins get nice and crisp on the edges.)
• In a medium bowl, break up the eggs with a whisk. Whisk in the honey, and then the milk. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just blended. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden. (Note that the muffins will not dome.) Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm.
• Note: If you'd prefer to make this as cornbread rather than muffins, spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: Cornbread muffins taste best when served right out of the oven but can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 for 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F oven until hot. Alternatively, heat muffins in the microwave at 50 percent power for 30 to 45 seconds, or until just hot; do not overheat or muffins will get tough.

BASIC CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin pan or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, mix together corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, oil and milk; stir gently to combine. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

CAST IRON SKILLET BAKED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Position oven rack in the middle of your oven, preheat oven to 350, place skillet in cold preheating oven in center of the middle rack.
• In a medium bowl combine all dry ingredients.
• In a separate smaller bowl combine wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
• Combine wet ingredients into dry and mix until well blended.
• Slide the oven rack, with the skillet on it, out and place last of the butter into hot skillet. Immediately pour batter into hot skillet, and slide oven rack into place.
• Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

CAST IRON SKILLET CORN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• 1. This was used many times, but it has been in a damp place and rusted. I am not sure it is safe to try to clean it up now and use it. Has anyone been successful doing it?
