Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded pepper-Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)

Make It

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 mini-muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Blend cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.

3. Stir together eggs, oil, hot pepper sauce, milk, 1/2 cup of the cheese and the corn in a small bowl. Stir into cornmeal mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide evenly among prepared muffin cups, 1/3 cup per indentation. Sprinkle muffins evenly with remaining cheese.
