Unbelievably Moist Cornmeal Muffins

fluffystew's Note:

From a Gay Lea recipe flyer. Definitely not a low fat recipe. Tried numerous recipes previously with mixed results (too dry, too crumbly), but these are always mmmm....perfect! Enjoy with soup, salad, chili. Add grated cheese if you wish. Can be frozen.

Indeed, very moist, fluffy and tender. There is a lot of sour cream and butter which I cut back a little on, substituting a bit of milk to make up for the liquid I left out. A very lovely cornmeal muffin.

Probably the best cornmeal muffins I have had yet. DH thought they were wonderful. I got exactly 12 moist, delicious muffins. I used reduced fat sour cream and it didn't affect the flavor at all. This is going into my Favorites cookbook. Thank You for sharing. *Made for Spring PAC 2009*
