Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Cold water
- 0.5 cup Butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Currants
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, gradually add cold water to the whole wheat flour, beating with an electric mixer (or a whisk) until the batter is very light and smooth. Ensure no lumps remain.
- 2Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a muffin tin or popover pan. Fill each cup about halfway with the batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- 3In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then gradually add the milk. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the currants.
- 4Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
