Recipe Information
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)
- Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until well combined.
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.
If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
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.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These Parmesan Cornbread Puffs pair beautifully with soups, stews, or a dollop of herbed butter.
