Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, honey, and sour cream until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Evenly divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these moist, tender cornmeal muffins as a side, snack, or breakfast treat!
