Cornmeal Muffins

I have looked for and tested several recipes before finding a cornmeal muffin that tasted just right to me.  After altering a recent recipe from the Southern Lady magazine I finally found what I was looking for....sorta sweet, not too crumbly, moist cornmeal muffins!  Here's my recipe:

Cornmeal Muffins

2 cups flour

2/3 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces

1/2 cup sour cream

1 1/2 cups milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease each cup of a 12 cup muffin pan with softened butter.

In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients and cut in 1/2 cup cold butter with a pastry blender till mixture is crumbly.  Add sour cream and milk - mix well.  Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes. 

I top mine with butter and blackberry jam -- YUM!

Enjoy!
