Nice Leo! More of a New England version there. Nothing wrong with that!

If you want to fancy them up a little (won't change the color much),
consider chopped bits of dried fruits. Not the candied stuff for fruit
cake, but figs, even prunes, raisens (sp?), dried guava or mangos work
well.

If the color bothers you, try using dark brown sugar for the sweetner.

Yes, they do sound good. Is it possible to use or add fresh corn at
all or just cornmeal?

Americans and their corn are like Asians and their soy beans.

Yes, true in the sense it's overused thanks to lobbyists and
manufacturers in the U.S. But that's not to say corn is of itself bad
in moderation.

No, I don't think so either, although it's probably always GM in the
US.

No, of course it isn't. Much of the sweet corn grown directly for the
table is non-GMO. Some dent corn is non-GMO so that some people can have
their fish tacos GMO-free.

GM is relatively new. Hybrid plants though, have been around for
centuries. Not just edibles, look at rose bushes. Many fruits are
hybrids.

I've had cornbread with corn added and America's Test Kitchen did a cornbread
recipe last year using fresh corn. I can't say I really liked the addition
of added corn and the ATK recipe didn't impress me enough to try it.

For _me_ cornbread needs no gussying up another than copious amounts of
butter.

I bake corn muffins often during winter months, I use the jumbo muffin
tins... I add about 20% coarse cornmeal to the fine and a can of
creamed corn. Many stores bake their muffins in paper liners, those
are not muffins, those are cupcakes.

Sheldon has some kind of irrational thing about muffins in paper liners.

It is more rational in my case. We make muffins frequently. They may be
plain, corn, bran, blueberry, cranberry carrot or some other variation,
but we never use paper liners. There are several local bakeries that
make them without liners. Then there are the kind you get in grocery
stores or cheap coffee shops, and they use liners. They are more like
cup cakes than muffins. They use a sweet, light batter and they are
definitely more like cake than muffins.

Still not muffins, plus even for cupcakes they look raw... muffins are
crusty. And I didn't see them until now, the first time, three hours
ago it asked that I sign up. I guessed they'd be in paper liners as
so many here don't know the difference between a muffin and a cupcake.

Is the difference a paper liner?

I was under the impression that cupcakes were made by creaming butter and
sugar (and then adding other ingredients) as for a cake--with a smooth batter--and that muffins are made like a quick bread, with a more lumpy batter.
Ideally, muffins have less sugar than cupcakes.

You're who's irrational, you permit your disdain to get in the way of
truth. To date I've not seen anything you've cooked so I don't
believe you can... and here you've proved that you can't by not
knowing the difference between a muffin and a cupcake.
Lousy bakeries use paper liners for muffin batter because they are too
lazy to grease muffin pans... however if they knew how to bake there'd
be nothing to wash as muffin tins need to be properly greased, they'd
pop right out cleanly and don't need washing before the next batch.
Now I know not only can't you cook you can't bake a lick either.

No proof whatsoever but I'm guessing why bakeries use paper liners is for their
convenience as well as a bit of hygiene. Unless they wear plastic gloves con-
stantly they can pick up the muffins/cupcakes without actually touching the
baked product. Also, the customer can peel the liner away to eat it and keep
their hands reasonably clean. One scene comes readily to mind; people trying
to eat their breakfast while driving to work. Eating, driving, slurping their
coffee and let's not forget talking on their phones.

So you're saying that the only difference between cupcakes and muffins
is the paper liner?

That works for me. We always mix ours by hand, and not too much. My
experience with most of the muffins sold in coffee shops, grocery stores
and convenience stores is that they are more of a cake texture. They are
sweet and light.

FWIW, the corner bakery where I go for coffee and muffins sell honest to
goodness muffins with quality ingredients. They started using parchment
paper wrappers a year or two ago but still have a quality muffin
product... with a wrapper.

I am not saying they cannot be muffins because they have a wrapper. I am
only saying that most of the commercially made muffins with wrappers are
more like cupcakes.

I found this:

Definition of Cupcake and Muffin

Cupcake "€œ is a small cake baked in a special pan that can be eaten by one person in one sitting. Apart from their size, they have all the same attributes of a cake which can include frosting and other decorations.
Muffin "€œ is a small loaf of bread baked in a shallow, round pan. Unlike traditional loaves of bread, muffins generally have more butter and sugar in them.

And this one, too:

The second is clearer. The first on is slightly misleading in
describing muffins as small loaves of bread. That suggests yeast. They
should have said they are like a quick bread in a small round tin.

Yes. I may or may not like it. It would alter the texture a lot... I
just thought it might be a way to reduce the carbohydrates and G.I
(I'm a somewhat of an high GI/carbo-phobe)

The only way I know to reduce the carbs in corn/cornbread is to not eat it.

"Currently, up to 92% of U.S. corn is genetically engineered (GE), as

There goes your biodiversity. Everything becomes the same. In the

I use the recipe right off a Albers Corn Meal box.
<http://alberscorn.com/sweet-corn-muffins/>
The recipe states that the muffins can be made with greased cups or
cupcake liners. I used liners. Next time I'll grease the tin up. It
ain't like it's difficult to do.
After I made them, I remembered that last time I made them, I
threatened to mix in blueberries. Next time, I will. cshenk suggested
dried fruit. That would be fine too.
They're good as I made them, but a little fruit oomph is a fine idea.

Eight percent of the corn grown in the U.S. is still a helluva lot of
corn. 8% of 366.6 million metric tons is close to 30 million metric
tons.

Most of your corn is GM, which was my point.

And my point is that people who don't want to eat GM corn can find
non-GM corn. You said "probably always", which is simply not the case.

The relatively few people who actually care about GMOs aren't likely to
eat grocery-store processed food anyway.

It's interesting that about half of Americans think GMOs are worse for
one's health, yet roughly 92% of them eat GMO corn (sometimes filtered
through farm animals first).

Yet these old Unix farts still get a ton accomplished with those tools.
Whenever the young whippersnappers at work have an intractable problem
one of us oldtimers solves it with a Unix shell script.

I am not concerned about health issues from GMO foods. I just dislike
their marketing. For as long as there has been agriculture farmers have
been saving a portion of their crop for seed for future crops. Farmers
bought seed and then cultivated the crops, replanted and the cycle
continued. With GMO plants they have to buy the seed new each year or
pay a license fee to sow the grain that they grew. They have prosecuted
farmers for using the seed of GMO grains that infiltrated their crops.
If I ran the world the farmers would be able to take action against
Monsanto for the contamination of their crops.

Science scares the hell out of you, doesn't it?
Educate yourself and maybe you'll learn that much of
it has improved lives.

As chemical compounds scare you so much, don't ever get
sick and require prescription meds. oh man

Sounds like my vision of Heaven except for the 'everyone looks
like Gary' part.
