RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS
Made with plenty of melted butter and sour cream, these golden, lightly sweet corn muffins are moist, rich and delicately crumbly. If you can find coarsely ground cornmeal (as opposed the fine stuff that's on most supermarket shelves), you'll also get deep corn flavor and a pleasantly grainy texture. Serve these warm from the oven, slathered with even more butter, or halved and toasted under the broiler to crisp the surface. They'll even keep for a few days if you store them in the fridge, and freeze perfectly for up to a month.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
- Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.
BROWN BUTTER CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH SWEET TEA GLAZE
This spin on the home cooking favorite is a nod to a classic Southern combination: iced tea and cornbread. Here, the tea makes a sweet and shiny glaze and the delicate sweetness of fresh corn kernels balances out the buttery bread. Muffins are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, but you could also make it in a cast-iron skillet and serve family style. Beware, your overnight guests may never leave.

Steps:
- Make The Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 6 tablespoons of butter into 12 (½ tablespoon) pats. Place 1 pat of butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the remaining 1 ½ sticks of butter into chunks and melt in a medium, light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, swirling the pan, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, 5 to 7 minutes-the butter will foam while it's browning. Remove from the heat, add the corn, and stir to coat the kernels in butter. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and eggs. Add the warm (not hot) corn mixture and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and gently fold until just combined.
- Place the muffin pan in the oven and heat until the butter is melted, foaming, and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup-they will be very full. Return the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan then transfer the muffins to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
- Make The Sweet Tea Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the tea and honey and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Carefully measure 2 tablespoons of the hot glaze, combine with the cornstarch, and whisk to dissolve. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the glaze, add the salt, and continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until thick and slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the muffins and enjoy warm or at room temperature-before they're all gone!
BROWN BUTTER SKILLET CORNBREAD
This lightly sweet cornbread has a crunchy, buttery crust, which comes from baking it in a hot skillet. If you have a cast-iron pan, this is the time to use it. The heavy, heat-retaining material will give you the darkest color (which equals the most flavor). But any large ovenproof skillet will work. And if you don't have a skillet big enough to hold all the batter, you can either halve the recipe or bake the cornbread in 9-by-13-inch pan. (Brown the butter first in a saucepan.) Your bread won't have the same dark crust, but the moist crumb flavored with brown butter and maple syrup is ample recompense.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, in a 11- or 12-inch skillet (ovenproof and preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan to lightly coat sides and bottom, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.)
- Pour brown butter into a large bowl. (Do not wipe out the pan.) Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, then whisk in buttermilk. The mixture should be cool to the touch; if not, let cool before whisking in the eggs. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- If the skillet is no longer hot (cast iron retains heat longer than other metals), reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes. Scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it emerges clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.
