Roasted Corn Meal Muffins

I made these muffins with the roasted cornmeal from Muddy Dog Roasting Company. This is a great all around cornbread recipe but the roasted cornmeal makes all of the difference in these. They are sweet with a subtle roasty flavor that is at once sophisticated and comforting. The slight grittiness of the stoneground cornmeal adds a nice rustic touch. I reviewed this cornmeal here.

Because of the use of honey and all purpose flour in these you get a moist, sweet corn muffin. Perfect for breakfast or as an accompaniment to soup these will become a staple recipe in your pantry I think. You can buy the roasted corn meal from Muddy Dog Roasting Company.

The crust came out perfectly. We like a sweet cornmeal muffin here and so I had Kyrie dust the top with a little granulated sugar. Turbinado sugar works great as well.

The inside; warm and steaming with a pat of butter is utter perfection. Again, this was just my standard cornmeal recipe with a couple of tweaks.
