Blue Corn Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 tablespoons unsalted butter
    4 tablespoons sugar
    3 eggs
    1 -2 poblano peppers or 1 -2 anaheim chili, roasted,peeled,seeded and chopped (about 1/2-1 cup)
    3/4 cup cooked corn (optional)
    1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup grated monterey jack cheese
    1/2 cup flour
    3/4 cup blue cornmeal
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup milk
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; grease a 12-muffin tin very well with butter.
    With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar; add the eggs and chopped peppers.
    Add the cheeses, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, ancho, garlic, salt, milk, and corn (if using), and mix until blended (do not over-mix).
    Pour the dough into the tin, dividing the portions evenly between the 12 muffins.
    Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean; turn the muffins out to cool.
    Makes 12 muffins.
    Note: some people like corn muffins sweeter, so feel free to add more sugar to taste; jalapeno peppers are also good in this recipe, use as much as you like for the level of spiciness you prefer.
