These tasty cornmeal muffins can be made sweeter or less sweet by adjusting the sugar. I use only a tablespoon or less for muffins to go with beans or chili, and up to 4 tablespoons for sweeter breakfast muffins.

Prep Time: 12 minutes

Cook Time: 18 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Makes 12 Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons Canola oil

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375°. Grease and flour 12 muffin cups.

In a bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar. In another bowl whisk together the egg, sour cream, milk, and oil. Combine the tow muxtures just until well blended. Spoon evenly into the prepared muffin cups and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes, until muffins are firm and browned around the edges.

Makes 12 cornbread muffins.

Not great, Member foodwp

Not a great recipe. I made a batch for Thanksgiving dinner and ended up throwing it away. I thought the sour cream would add extra richness but it didn't turn out that way. I ended up making another batch of cornbread using a different recipe.
