Cornbread Muffins instead of Bread

When I am out of bread in the house, I don't worry, as I always have in my pantry enough ingredients to create fast savory substitutes which might be much better than any other baking product I can find on the market. 
I've tried the zucchini and savory muffins recently, but this time I wanted to learn better how to use the cornflour which is an ingredient I hardly use more than once the year, if ever. 
The following improvised recipe was easy to prepare and bake and delicious enough to disappear in less than half a day. 

Ingredients
250 gr. cornflour
2 cups white flour
8 gr. baking powder
2 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
500 gr. butter milk
1 tablespoon Osem consomme
150 gr. black sesame for decoration

Directions
Warm the oven at 250C, at least 15 minutes before you are ready. In a muffin iron, add 12 colourful muffin sheets.
Mix the ingredients well, until you have a compact paste. Pour it into the muffin papers. In the end, spread the black sesame seeds.
Bake it in the oven for 45 minutes.

I served it with yellow cheese, ricotta and spicy black olives. It is a perfect afternoon and breakfast snack, or some take away travel goodies.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Serves: 12

Bon Appétit!

Savory Muffins for the Win

The savory muffins are not new to me or my blog, given my experience with zucchini muffins, which were a long-time family win. Easy to make, tasty and healthy, all you need when you are out of time for an elaborated recipe. Yesterday, I tried a different recipe, which I created out of scratch, with the same feedback. Couple of hours later, it was none left.
Ingredients
- 500 gr. white flour
- 15 gr. backing powder
- 4 eggs beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 300 ml. butter milk
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 big scallions, finelly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Osem chicken soup consomme
- 100 gr. black sesame, to sprinkle on the top

Directions
Add all the ingredients, one by one, and mix well. 
Meanwhile, heat the oven at 250Celsius.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Pour the mix into 12 muffins/cupcake paper forms, sprinkle the black sesame on the top, and leave it in the oven for around 20-30 minutes.
Serves: 12

Bon Appétit!
