Here’s Our Simple Ingredients: I’m using Jolly Sweet Corn Kernels, but you can use fresh sweet corn on a cob. Any pancake mix will do, you can also omit or add more cheese if you like. I was craving for Kenny Rogers Corn Muffins, so I ask Ed if He can buy me a half dozen of those but he was too busy. Hmm, but if craving persist, consult google for recipes LOL So I end up searching for recipes, but unfortunately all recipes have cornmeal and honey. But if there’s a will, there’s a way, and this pancake mix is to the rescue woohoo… These corn muffins will last up to 3 days in room temperature, if it gets stale, just microwave it for 30 seconds. Better way to store them is in an airtight container and refrigerate, this will last for a week or even freeze them to last for a couple weeks. Just let it thaw for 3 minutes and microwave for about 30 seconds and they are warm and fluffy again.
If you want these fluffy muffins, please try this recipe and let me know if the pancake mix is a perfect substitute for cornmeal.
