This afternoon, I wanted to do a bit of baking, but didn't have a lot of time to spend, so I compromised. I used a corn muffin mix and added my own seasonings to make them extra special and extra tasty. Though my friends know I love spicy foods, these are not very spicy at all; they just have a bit of heat in the finish.
To make them yourself, just add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of chipotle pepper to whatever liquids you need to add to the boxed mix. These amounts are for a mix that makes six muffins, and you can certainly adjust the quantities to taste. After I scooped the batter into the muffin tin, I dusted them with smoked sea salt, then cooked them according to the instructions on the box.
These are great just with a bit of butter, or with some Stonewall Kitchens Roasted Garlic and Onion Jam. Use just a little jam, though, as too much will overwhelm the spices.
I'll definitely make these again, and when I do, I'll use fat-free sour cream instead of eggs and milk as the liquids.
To be continued...
