Equipment

  • standard-sized muffin pan
  • cupcake liners

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 12 cupcake liners in a muffin pan. (See Notes below for baking in a square pan or cast-iron skillet.)
  • Mix cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl, then whisk to mix. Add sour cream and butter. Stir. Add eggs and stir until combined.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs.

Notes

Making Muffins with Pan Liners

If making without the cupcake liners, grease the muffin tins.

Making a Loaf Instead of Muffins

If making this recipe in a single pan instead of a muffin pan, use either an 8-inch round cast-iron pan or an 8 x 8-inch square pan.
    • For the cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan as the oven heats. Then coat the pan by swirling the melted butter; then add the batter.
    • If using a square pan, spray it with cooking spray before adding the batter.
    • Cooking time for either pan is 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top, and a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs.
