Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Fresh or canned corn kernels (optional)
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the muffin tin

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, milk, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and gently stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the fresh or canned corn kernels to add a sweet, chewy texture.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Gently transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm with butter or honey.
