Corn Muffins, No. 2 Recipe

Corn muffins are a popular American baked treat that has been enjoyed for centuries. They have a rich history and are often associated with Southern cuisine. The recipe for Corn Muffins, No. 2 is a simple and delightful twist on the classic corn muffin recipe. In this recipe, we will be using a combination of white flour and cornmeal, giving the muffins a tender and slightly sweet taste. Let's get started!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup white flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup sour milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Add the sour milk and melted butter to the beaten egg and mix everything together.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Smooth the tops of the batter with a spatula if needed.

6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for around 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer the muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Now you have a batch of delicious Corn Muffins, No. 2! These muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a side with your favorite chili or barbecue dishes. Serve them warm with butter or honey for added indulgence.
