I Love Cornbread

Re: Mama's Banana Blueberry Muffins

Yum! Peepers! How did you like them?
I loved them!! I liked that you used applesauce and buttermilk to replace the butter/fat and cut the sugars. The white whole wheat (I had white whole wheat in the canister), flaxseed meal and wheat germ added a bit of fiber, protein and some omegas. I have gotten into the habit of using them in recipes automatically without thinking. Thank you for the recipe!!
 
Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

I made this last night. It's really good. I used a bit more than 1C. blueberries.
Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

INGREDIENTS
1 cup blueberries, picked over, washed or use frozen blueberries well drained
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tbsps. grated lemon zest
1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 c. melted butter
1/4 c. lemon juice

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400º. Insert paper liners in muffin tins or grease lightly with vegetable shortening. Spread blueberries on paper towels to blot up water.
Sift flour with sugar and baking powder into mixing bowl. In second bowl, beat eggs well; beat in yogurt, melted butter, lemon zest and juice. Stir into dry ingredients only to mix; batter should be lumpy. Fold in berries. DO NOT OVER-MIX OR MUFFINS WILL BE TOUGH.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are rounded and browned. Immediately loosen muffins with spatula. Serve hot or cool on rack. Freeze in single layer on baking sheet. Store in resealable plastic bag. Makes 12 medium muffins.

Mama's Hush Puppies

hushpuppies.jpg



1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix
1/2 cup of self-rising flour
1 teaspoon of Lawry's Seasoning Salt
1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tablespoons bacon grease (you can use vegetable oil here but the bacon grease gives it such a wonderful flavor)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
Oil for deep frying

Heat oil to 350° F.
Mix together the first 5 ingredients.
Add the eggs and buttermilk until mix until well blended.
When the oil is ready, drop the hush puppies in by rounded tablespoons. Flip them over after they begin to brown on the first side. Allow them to brown on all sides flipping several times. Be careful not to overcook them.

**Note: If you like your hush puppies sweet, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the batter.

Re: Caramel Apple Biscuit Muffins

One thing I don't understand is this line "Insert 1 craft stick into center of each biscuit cup." I don't see a stick in the picture and don't understand the purpose. What did I miss?
 
Re: Caramel Apple Biscuit Muffins

Oh and Peeps if you go on the link you will see that these were origionally made to be like caramel apples so they inserted a popcicle stick...I left them out :)
