Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cups milk
- 1 piece large egg
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
- 0.5 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, 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.
Fold in the flaked salmon, corn kernels, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the cheese spread. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives until smooth and creamy.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve the salmon and corn muffins warm or at room temperature with the cheese spread on the side.
