Method

Muffins

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin pan with non-stick spray or line it with muffin liners.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk and melted butter.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Fill Muffin Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chive Butter

  1. 9

    Prepare the Chive Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the finely chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.

Jalapeño Jam

  1. 10

    Cook the Jalapeño Jam

    In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped jalapeños, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Tabasco Honey

  1. 11

    Mix Tabasco Honey

    In a small bowl or jar, mix together the honey and Tabasco sauce until well blended. Adjust the amount of Tabasco to your taste.
