Corn Muffins

This recipe is based on my sister’s sour cream cornbread recipe. For dinner tonight, we enjoyed some of the produce from this week’s market basket—purple-hull peas, Fried Okra and Green Tomatoes, Grilled Corn on the Cob, and Mashed Potatoes. The corn muffins were a yummy addition. The sour cream makes these very moist and adds a tanginess to the batter. This makes enough for 15 to 18 muffins. Come fall, I’ll serve these with black bean soup and chili. Enjoy!
