As a recap, My wife and I found a box of old recipes in an old farm house we moved into. Some of them were insane, so we decided to cook one or two recipes per week until we get through the entire box. We will do every one, regardless of how bad we think it will be and we will follow the recipe as closely as we can within reason although we may scale it down to avoid food waste.
Yesterday we made two recipes. I posted one yesterday, and I am posting this one today.
These maple corn muffins actually turned out great!
It was an easy recipe with reasonable proportions and, once I figured out what the writing said, it wasn't hard to follow.
To make it easier if someone wants to follow the recipe, here it is:
Maple Corn Muffins
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Flour
2/3 cup Cornmeal
3 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
2/3 Cup Milk
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup (use real syrup, not the corn syrup ones)
1/2 cup Melted Fat (I used bacon fat)
Instructions:
Sift flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder together 3x
Beat eggs
Add milk and syrup (I then beat them all together)
Add dry ingredients
Add melted fat
Put in hot greased muffin pan
Bake 20 min at 425° F
Makes 12 (I got 11, but I think I over filled it a bit)
I might suggest a bit more salt, but other than that, it's pretty good!
We might be able to do two more next week, but we have family visiting, we are going to try to make them pick two for us to do. I will post when we do them!

Looks simple and intriguing! Did it taste like the maple syrup significantly affected the flavor compared to a regular corn muffin? Would it be better for breakfast or dinner do you think?
Looks lovely!! Nice job
I love your journey to make these recipes! Reminds me of the movie Julie and Julia with a rural twist. 😀
Gosh, that looks so similar to my grandma’s handwriting. The muffins sound delicious, I can’t resist a corn muffin.
I look forward to this weekly experiment!
Yum! Saving for a rainy day. My great aunt used to make mini cornmeal muffins when I was a kid and I would raaave about them. She thought it was so odd I loved them but I’d never had them any other time.
