Durian Sweetcorn Muffin - 榴莲玉米玛芬

I love corn muffin especially those served as sides in American restaurant that comes with bits of corn kernels in it because I simply adore its sweetness and sandy texture on each bites. So for this mentioned recipe, I turn my favourite ingredients; cornmeal, sweetcorn and durian into a sinful and yet delicious teatime snack which we go crazy with.

In Singapore despite of the hot and humid weather during summer, many people are still looking forward to the yearly Durian season which normally falls between late June till August. And this year according to the news Malaysian durians are selling at lowest prices which means we can feast more and expected cheaper price on even good grade durians.

玉米粉 (Cornmeal) 含有丰富的营养素可以用来煮粥,做饼干,馒头,玉米发糕和松饼等等。而在这个榴莲玉米玛芬食谱里我也加入了少许的玉米粉来增添口感和咬劲。由于每年的六到八月是丰收的季节所以到处都可以买到便宜又好吃的榴莲,因此除了玉米粉和玉米粒之外也少不了主角"榴莲肉"。

110毫升鲜牛奶
120克冷冻玉米粒
