Bacon corn muffins
Description
This recipe begins by frying chopped bacon until crispy, then combining it with a batter made from flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, fresh corn, grated cheddar cheese, and finely chopped herbs such as basil, chives, and parsley. The wet and dry ingredients are mixed just until combined to maintain a tender texture.
The batter is spooned into a greased or lined muffin pan and baked at 180°C until golden and a skewer comes out clean, producing muffins with a crisp exterior and moist interior. The bacon adds savory depth while the corn provides subtle sweetness and texture. Fresh herbs introduce brightness.
These muffins are well suited for serving alongside breakfast dishes, soups, or salads, or enjoyed on their own as a savory snack.
