Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously butter a 12-cup muffin pan (or six 1-cup aluminum foil pie pans or ceramic ramekins) and set aside.

  2. Step 2.

    In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to gently stir together the eggs, fine-grind cornmeal, heavy cream or milk, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt until all ingredients are moistened.

  3. Step 3.

    Fold in the all-purpose flour and mix until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain in the baking powder.

  4. Step 4.

    Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups, piling a heaping ⅓ cup into each (or ⅔ cup each for foil pans or ramekins). The cups will be quite full.

  5. Step 5.

    Bake on the middle rack for about 15 minutes (17 minutes for mini loaves), or until domed, cracked, and golden brown on top.

  6. Step 6.

    Immediately after baking, slide a knife around each muffin and carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve piping hot or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day; reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before serving.
