Aunt Pat's Spicy Corn Muffins

I was so pleased with the pulled pork BBQ recipe found in the back of Delicious and Suspicious by Riley Adams that I just had to try another one of her recipes. This time I made the corn muffins. I've mentioned several times here that my husband doesn't do spicy, so I left out the peppers and used a mild picante sauce. Also, I subbed canola oil for the shortening.

They turned out great and are definitely worth making again. Sorry - no photos, but here's the recipe.


Aunt Pat's Spicy Corn Muffins

2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening, melted
1 cup self-rising cornmeal
1 cup sour cream (not low fat)
1 8-ounce can creamed corn
3/4 cup picante sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno
1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Beat the eggs into the melted shortening (after it has cooled somewhat).
Stir cornmeal into egg-shortening mixture. Add sour cream, creamed corn, picante sauce, and jalapeno. Beat well.
Spoon half the batter into muffin cups. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with remaining batter.
Bake for 30 minutes or until done.

Oh, how I love this recipe! I've made it for years, but we call it Mama's Jalapeno Cornbread. It's so yummy with a pot of chili on a cold day. Thanks for sharing it! Blessings!

PS: We got nice rain showers yesterday and today. I could hear the trees across the street in the woods saying, "Ahhhhhhh....." :-)
