Corn muffin recipe adapted from Baking: From My Home To Yours, by Dorrie Greenspan, 2006
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup fresh cranberries, halved
  • ¼ cup + ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1½ cups cornmeal
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
  • 2 Tablespoons seeded and finely chopped jalapeños
Instructions
  1. Preheat and stabilize your grill temperature for medium-high indirect heat (no heat source under the muffin tin) at 400°F. Line muffin tins with baking cups and set aside.
  2. Toss the halved cranberries with ¼ cup sugar and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; make a well in the center and set aside. Lightly beat the eggs and then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and corn oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined; there will be some lumps, and that’s okay. Fold in the cranberries, corn, and jalapeños. Do not over-mix the batter.
  3. Fill the lined muffin cups three-quarters full. Bake in you pre-heated, covered grill for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden and a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes away clean. Transfer to a wire baking rack to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
