April 2007 - Made these again today - mmmmmm, still delicious!!!I made this for PAC 2006. Delicious! I was intrigued by the cornmeal in this recipe and boy was I glad I tried these muffins! they were not too sweet and they were gone in a flash! I made two changes - used my dad's homemade rhubarb jam and, as I didn't have any sour cream, I used yogurt instead. Thanks for a great muffin recipe looneytunesfan.
