Dee-lishous. I used the silicone pan because it's a bit deeper than the standard muffin pan but I dislike it because nothing browns in it. Never the less the corn muffins taste great. I skipped the sugar as I don't care for sweetened corn breads, replaced a tablespoon of the milk with the same amount of juice from a jar of jalapenos which gave them a great heat. Love, love, love the use of the cumin, turmeric and coriander. I made 6 muffins, had one with dinner, and I'm popping the rest into the freezer to enjoy soon :D. Thanks Chef Jean for a terrific corn muffin recipe.
