Time 45m

Yield Eight muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sifted flour
1 cup cornmeal, preferably stone ground
1 tablespoon sifted baking powder
1 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 large egg
1/3 cup finely diced hot chilies, preferably poblanos, available in markets that cater to a Spanish-speaking clientele, or use fresh or canned jalapenos
1/3 cup finely diced green onions or scallions
1/3 cup drained canned corn kernels
1 3/4 cups finely grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Melted butter or liquid bacon fat for greasing muffin tins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, pepper flakes, salt and cumin, and blend well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the sour cream and milk, and blend well with a wire whisk. Beat in the melted butter and egg.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the cornmeal mixture and blend well. Add the chilies, green onions, corn and cheese. Blend thoroughly.
  • Grease the inside of eight half-cup muffin tins. Spoon equal portions of the batter into each greased tin. The batter may be a bit higher than the top of the tins.
  • Place in the oven and bake 25 minutes. Ideally, these muffins are best eaten hot, fresh from the oven.
