Muffins with corn flour and dried apricot pieces are cooked in butter, completely without adding liquid. The dough is dense, moist – classic muffin. I also like this pastry for its bright color. Finished corn muffins are coated with turmeric sugar icing.

Ingredients
Ingredients- Butter – 150 g for dough + 20 g for greasing molds
- Eggs – 3 pcs.
- Dried apricots – 150 g
- Sugar – 150 g
- Corn flour – 100 g
- Wheat flour of the highest grade – 70 g
- Baking dough – 1 teaspoon flat
* - For glaze:
- Ground turmeric – 1 teaspoon without a slide
- Powdered sugar – 50 g
- Vanillin – 0.25 teaspoon
- Water or lemon juice – 20-25 ml
Instructions
- Prepare food. Remove eggs and butter from refrigerator and leave at room temperature for about 1 hour. The dough cooks quickly, so when the butter becomes soft, turn on the oven immediately to preheat to 180 degrees. And you can start making the dough.
- Rinse dried apricots and cut into small pieces.
- Whisk the soft butter with sugar for about 1 minute.
- Add eggs and beat until smooth for about 2 minutes.
- Enter dried apricots, mix with a spoon.
- Add sifted cornmeal.
- Stir with a spoon.
- Then add the sifted wheat flour and baking powder.
- Stir the dough.
- Place the dough in oiled muffin tins, 2/3 full. I greased the molds with oil just in case, but if you are 100% sure of your shape, you can skip this.
- Place the muffins in a preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Check the readiness of the muffins with a sharp wooden stick – it should come out of the dough clean. Let the prepared muffins cool in the tins for about 5 minutes, and then place on the wire rack to cool the muffins a little more.
- In the meantime, prepare the frosting. Combine the icing sugar, vanillin and turmeric. Begin to introduce a teaspoon of water (or lemon juice), stirring the mass well. The glaze should look like low-fat sour cream.
- Brush still warm corn muffins with dried apricots with cooked sugar icing with turmeric and let them cool completely.
