Bolo de Milho
### Ingredients:
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 pinch of salt
### Instructions:
1. **Preheat the oven** to 180°C (350°F). Grease your muffin tins or line them with paper liners.
2. **Prepare the corn**: If using fresh corn, steam or boil it for about 10 minutes, then drain. If using canned corn, drain it well.
3. **Blend the corn**: In a blender, blend the corn with the milk until smooth.
4. **Prepare the dry ingredients**: In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5. **Prepare the wet ingredients**: In another bowl, beat the butter and eggs until creamy. Add the corn and milk mixture and mix well.
6. **Combine the mixtures**: Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. **Fill the muffin tins**: Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
8. **Bake**: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. **Cool**: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
These corn muffins have a slightly crumbly texture with a sweet, savory flavor. Enjoy!
