Muffins, muffins and more muffins.
Savory muffins are my favorite. Cheesy and flavorful, yet still light and fluffy; that’s how I like them best. So when I was at the farmers market in downtown Sarasota and found wonderful fresh ears of corn it seemed the perfect time to make fresh corn muffins.
Most corn muffin recipes call for corn meal but I prefer lighter muffins. Using white flour instead gives you a light springy muffin every time and I stick with self rising flour; just saves a bit of time. Cheese wise, pre grated mozzarella and cheddar are readily available and another wonderful time saver!
Muffins really are so easy to whip up, 10 minutes at the most and can be in the oven baking while you get everything else ready and they add so much love to your family dinner table!
