Receta Cheddar and Green Chili Corn Muffins
Last week-end I did some thrift shopping and picked up a few"finds". One find was a Lodge Cast Iron Wedge Pan that I bought for $2.00. I love scones with jam for breakfast and my hubby loves corn muffins, so I knew I was going to get my $2.00 worth. I decided to make Chili Cheese Corn Muffins. I have never baked in cast iron before and so I wasn't sure what to expect. The corn muffins turned out great! In fact, I couldn't be happier with this wedge pan. The muffins were nice and brown on the outside, giving them a nice texture and tender and moist on the inside. I will definitely be on the look out for cast iron pans from now on:)
