Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 0 Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil, or line with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a puff comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the puffs cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These Parmesan Cornbread Puffs pair beautifully with soups, stews, or a dollop of herbed butter.
