Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles, drained

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups or grease. In large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, combine milk, sour cream, oil, egg and chiles; beat well. Add to flour mixture; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • 3
    Bake at 400°F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm.

  • Canned chiles are a useful nonperishable to keep on hand to add liveliness to recipes without bothering with fresh peppers. Unless you're a chile fanatic, little cans will be most useful, since most recipes call for only a small amount. Check the label and choose the heat level that appeals to you: mild, medium or hot. Drain the liquid before chopping. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
  • To trim a few grams of fat, use nonfat plain yogurt in place of the sour cream and skim milk in place of the regular milk in this recipe.
  • These zesty muffins are great with a hearty bowl of chili and cold Mexican beer or iced tea.
