Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 large Egg
  • ½ cup Butter melted
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined.
  • In another bowl, add the egg, melted butter, milk and sour cream and whisk together until combined.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.  Don't overmix - the batter should be just a little lumpy.  Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes and then mix again lightly.
  • Pour batter into 12 greased muffin tins or paper lined tins. They should be about ¾ full.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on edges and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite butter or spread. Enjoy!
