We've finally had a bout of "seasonal" weather. Below freezing Saturday night! Daytime temps in the fifties on Friday and Saturday. I've been waiting SO LONG for this change. The Easter hambone has been burning a hole in FRIG II's freezer, waiting for a delicious pot of ham and beans.
Of course no pot of ham and beans is complete without CORN MUFFINS! I suppose cornbread would do, but everybody here has always liked the muffin form. Good thing I didn't say muffin SHAPE, because they would be sorely disappointed.
Oh, they look muffin-y enough, if you excuse that one lying on top. But the Truth in Blogging Law requires me to show the other view.
They're ALL like that! I baked conehead muffins! I don't know how this happened. I've been making corn muffins for years.
I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel. I use the basic box mix, JIFFY. I follow the instructions to the letter. I make two boxes at once. So that requires 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup of milk. I used the same trusty bowl. Did not over-stir. Let the batter sit for four minutes before filling the muffin tin, which I had treated with PAM non-stick spray. EXACTLY the same as I always make the corn muffins. Same oven. Same temperature. Same time.
But my muffins came out cone-headed!
Oh, well. Genius and The Pony aren't here anymore to criticize my muffin prowess. Hick doesn't care. They eat just the same. The flavor was good. The only drawback I see is for Hick, who cuts his muffins in half, and butters both sides.
Hmm. After that last sentence, I recall how I told Hick, carrying his plate to the living room:
"The butter slid off your muffin. Do you want this knife before I put it in the sink?"
"No. I'll use my spoon."
No wonder Hick's butter done slid off his muffin!
