Pantry Planning: Jiffy Corn Mix is one of those things worth having even if it does now include soy.
The almost ready to eat handiness of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix variations is certainly worthy of it space InMySmallKitchen.
- Wisk 1/2 tsp Apple Pie Spice into dry ingredients.
- SUB 1/3 c Apple Sauce (replace Milk)
- Pour into well greased 9 in pie pan
- Let it rest for at least 3-4 minutes.
- Bake according to package directions until center is clean tooth pick done
WHY a pie pan? its a twofer = we like a bit of crispy edge and wedges look nice on the plate.
(I know cast iron is better if not always possible)
It is a toss up depending on freezer space. Jiffy Corn Muffins freeze well, or you can weigh and make only 1/2 box at time if you are
Shopping tiplet: Most stupid markets seem to have sale on individual or 6 packs on a regular basis. So a stock up every few months is easy to plan.
As part of planning your Pandemic Pantry – do check the “best by date” –
and yeah, sure I could make the mix up myself, but the shelf life would be much shorter,

Now that we have officially entered Summer Grilling season (but please don’t limit this wonderful ingredient to just a few months of the year) sometimes called “Butter Pesto” InMySmallKitchen. So skipping most of the usual food blog rhetoric – jumping straight into the “recipe and variations”
Beef Meat Compound Butter
1 Tbl Roasted Garlic Paste Fresh
…or 1 tsp Roasted Garlic Dried
1 tsp Pepper, Black Coarse Ground
1 Cup Butter, “Sweet Cream” (Salted)
Combine until evenly mixed then place in small bowl – Cover allow to “meld” several hours.
USE: Slather it on as soon as meat is removed from heat for resting so it will be absorbed into the crust as it rests.
Reminder Plain, Salted/Sweet Cream Butter will keep on the counter so make early in the day
Or, make ahead up to a week if all dried herbs or 2 days if fresh herbs. Store in Refrigerator until an hour or two ahead of use.
Tiplet: use a relatively neutral flavoured oil (Sunflower, Safflower, EVOO) to rehyrdrate dried herbs to create a paste to blend into the soft butter.
Tiplet: Variations – Sub/add other herbs & spices to make a compound butter to bring out the flavours of other Meat & Poultry
Beef: 1 Tbl Horseradish Fresh or 1 tsp Powder
Lamb: 1 TBL Rosemary Fresh Finely Minced (or 1 tsp Dried)
Pork: 1.5 tsp Mustard Seed, finely ground
Poultry: 1 tsp each Sage & Summer Savory (consider using it under the skin and to rub into breast cavity when preparing whole or pieces for roasting.
Tiplet: Brush onto breads either before or after toasting or even without toasting.

“this week in his email young #ChefChristian shared his method for Blue Corn Chips to accompany his roasted pineapple salsa.

Now I am thinking it would be fun to use this flour with kids for Tortillas, and maybe even Arepas for fun breakfast or dessert “sandwiches”
