Ingredients

  • cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.
  • Scoop batter into 12 greased muffin tins or paper lined tins, about 3/4 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!
