Preparation

Step 1

Make corn muffins:
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Brush muffin cups with softened butter.

Whisk together cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.

Whisk together corn, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in another bowl, then stir into flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese.

Divide batter among muffin cups and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until puffed and golden-brown and a wooden pick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Make jalapeño butter while muffins bake:
Stir together butter, jalapeño, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve with muffins.

Cooks’ notes:
•Muffins can be made 6 hours ahead.
•Jalapeño butter can be made 1 week ahead and chilled in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before serving.
