| Sweet Corn Muffins Recipe on other photo (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
These muffins are inspired by Italian polenta, a term that refers to cornmeal that is cooked in water or stock and eaten while soft for breakfast or as a side dish. The traditional preparation uses coarse ground cornmeal. For these muffins, medium ground cornmeal may be substituted for Italian polenta and will result in muffins with a slightly different but equally appealing texture. Instant polenta is also available but lacks the hearty texture of the long cooking variety.
