Am…musings

After a work week of Luna bars for breakfast, I like to have something special on the weekends. Homemade whole wheat pancakes have been the standby lately, but I wasn’t in the mood this morning. Then inspiration struck … I had 11 ears of THE best corn ever in my fridge, so I headed to Google for a fresh corn muffin recipe.

I found several that were all fairly similar. How’s a girl to pick? I went with the blog with the best name … Smitten Kitchen. The post actually shared the recipe of another food writer and cookbook author … Dorie Greenspan. I won’t repost the entire recipe here because you can find it on Smitten Kitchen’s Corniest Corn Muffin post, but I will tell you it was fantastic. Of course, the fact that my muffins were studded with my super-fresh, day-old corn probably helped, but I will definitely use this recipe again even if I don’t have that amazing corn on hand.

One note, I don’t typically keep buttermilk in the fridge so I tried substituting 1 Tbsp. white vinegar and enough milk to make a cup (let it sit a few minutes) … worked just fine.
