Well, these were a major hit. I started the dough the night before to be ready at 830 am on the bread machine. I need to double check the manual, because when I came down at 730, expecting it to be mid rise, it was already well done. I think the time I set was for completion time, not for start time. Not a great interface.
Anyway, the dough was way stickier than I had worked with before. I needed to add quite a bit of flour to the counter to work it at all.
After shaping into small rounds I sprinkled with Jiffy corn bread mix and fried them in the stove with a little olive oil spray. The trick I found is to use low heat to get a good rise out the muffin, before it starts to burn. The first batch I made was a little undercooked on the inside, but still delicious. The second batch was closer to intended. I did not see the “nooks and crannies” like I expected, and will investigate how to improve that for next time.
