These corn muffins are bursting with fresh sweet corn flavor. Eat them plain or slather them with farm fresh butter.
INGREDIENTS
-
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
-
1½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1¼ cups cornmeal
-
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar
-
2½ tsp. baking powder
-
¾ tsp. baking soda
-
2¼ tsp. kosher salt
-
1½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
-
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 cobs), divided
-
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
-
¾ cup sour cream
-
⅔ cup milk
-
½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, cooled
-
Flaky sea salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°. Generously coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
- Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in 1½ cups corn.
- Lightly whisk eggs and egg yolk in a medium bowl, then whisk in sour cream, milk, and butter.
- Create a well in the center of dry ingredients. Pour egg mixture into well and stir with a wooden spoon until batter is just combined.
- Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Top with remaining ½ cup corn, then sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake muffins, rotating pan halfway through, until tops are golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18–20 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan. Transfer muffins to a wire rack and eat while warm or let cool completely.
Do Ahead: Muffins can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Freeze: Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in a zip top freezer bag. Take out and let thaw on counter.
