Barbecues are normally a time for firm and celebration, and definitely a time to take pleasure in food with family and friends.  On the finish of Might, right here within the states, Memorial day is as usually related to BBQ as it’s remembrance.  Since meals is a well-known consolation each in instances of celebration and of mourning, it’s an apt theme to have BBQ bakes for our Might BreadBakers problem.

My hubby all the time had an appreciation for the corn muffins accessible from our Ivar’s seafood bars right here in Puget Sound.  I figured I’d try to create one thing like that and went via a couple of iterations earlier than deciding on the method the place the silent munching and nodding and mmm-hmm-ing that ensued upon tasting, indicated success.  They had been all tasty, however these muffins get pleasure from tasting like corn muffins, however being corn free in order to not exacerbate the meals sensitivity in three out of 4 members of the family.  It’s possible you’ll after all use corn meal and masa harina rather than the millet, however these are scrumptious even with out the corn.  Millet has a beautiful corn-like taste.

An earlier check, richer, however too crumbly when heat.

Corn muffins are usually a bit sweeter than corn bread.  I do know there may be very robust emotions about corn bread and sweetness the additional east you head, however right here on the west coast, we’re not fussed about it a lot.  The recipe may be doubled for a crowd however we do not ever want that many, plus I have already got two different batches within the freezer!  Oh sure, when you’ve got by no means had heat corn muffins with golden syrup, it’s a scrumptious runner as much as honey, although I do nonetheless love honey on my corn bread!
