BLUEBERRY CORN MUFFINS WITH VANILLA BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the muffins: Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, milk, baking soda, egg and vanilla. Slowly incorporate the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the melted shortening, stirring constantly. Stir in the dried blueberries (you can use a little more or a little fewer if you'd like).
• Pour into a greased mini-muffin pan, trying to make sure the blueberries stay evenly distributed. Bake until golden brown, 10 minutes or so.
• For the vanilla butter: Combine the softened butter, sugar and the caviar from the vanilla bean. Stir until totally combined, and then spread into a ramekin and serve with the warm muffins. (Butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.)

BLUEBERRY-CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the egg, yolk, buttermilk, butter and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until the batter comes together but still has lumps. Stir in the berries. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with sugar.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. With the mixer on the lowest speed, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until they are just blended. Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are crisp and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from the pan.

• For the muffin batter: Sift together the flour, granulated sugar and baking powder. Place the flour mixture in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the butter and shortening.

• For the topping: Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl.
• Fill muffin pans with batter. Sprinkle 1 heaping teaspoon of topping ingredients over each muffin. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon wheat germ over the top for extra crunch if desired.
• Bake until done, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Eat warm or at room temperature.
