Top Secret Recipes: Famous Dave’s Corn Muffins

We decided to make muffins to take to the Superbowl Chili Cook off party.

This top secret recipe version sounded exactly what we were looking for.

Anything has to be better that premade box made muffins right? I hope they taste just as good as when you are in Famous Dave’s having BBQ!

1 ¾ cups cornmeal

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup shortening

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup whole milk

¼ cup buttermilk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons honey

1.      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2.     Grind the cornmeal at high speed in a food processor for 5 minutes or until some of it has become flour. Pour all the ground cornmeal into a large bowl with the flour, baking powder, salt, & baking soda & mix.

3.   Use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream together the eggs, sugar, shortening, & vanilla.

4.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry stuff. Add the remaining ingredients & mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until the batter is smooth.

5.   Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper muffin cups.  Fill each muffin cup with batter, then bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned

Tupps Tidbits ~ If you can find stone-ground cornmeal I would recommend it; I did not have any luck & opted to grind the cornmeal at high speed in the blender. Be prepared – the recipe made over the dozen it says it should make. You can easily make 18.

Amazing!  These are delicious! They’re perfectly sweet with just the right amount of cornmeal.  Definitely a KEEPER!  I could not stop myself from eating them.
