We had corn muffins at famous daves and k loves them. So she asked me to make some. I bought the jiffy box and well its not nearly as good. One thing is it didnt ask for butter in the recipe just egg and milk. I know theres a ton of butter in FDs.
Second I remember some of you talking about addng corn. DO you just dump a can of drained corn in or does it have to be mashed some.
Or is there a SIMPLE good recipe from scratch anyone has. TIA.
Idk if they have differrent kinds of cornbread, but this is from my favorite recipe copycat site... I've never had a bum recipe from there.
1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup stone ground cornmeal 1 (9 ounce) package yellow cake mix 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Jalape o Honey Glaze: 1/2 cup butter 1 large jalape o pepper, seeded, finely diced 3 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely diced 1/4 cup honey 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Combine cornmeals, cake mix, baking powder, salt and cayenne in a bowl; set aside.
Combine milk, buttermilk, oil, eggs, brown sugar and honey in a bowl and mix well. Add to the cornmeal mixture and mix gently - there should be no lumps, but do not overmix. Fold in the mayonnaise. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spoon the cold batter into a greased muffin tin or a cast iron skillet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
In the meantime, make the glaze by heating butter in a saucepan until melted. Stir in jalape o and bell pepper. Bring to a simmer. Stir in honey and cayenne. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Drizzle over Famous Dave's Corn Bread.
NOTE: You can make the glaze ahead of time and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. Re-heat before serving.
To answer your question though, I add a can of creamed corn to Jiffy mix. I'll sometimes add in some frozen whole kernels, or corn fresh off the cob when it's in season. I like mine sweet, so I add a little sugar, and put honey butter on top.
