Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 9 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners; fill any empty muffin cups in the pan with water. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, melted butter, and sour cream. Stir just until a thick dough comes together; do not over-mix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup to the top. I use an ice cream scoop for this step to make sure that each muffin is the same size. Bake the muffins for 25-28 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Brush the warm muffins with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, and then serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure that your self-rising flour is fresh. Just like any other leavening agents, the baking powder in self-rising flour can go bad and your muffins will not rise.
- Use full-fat, room temperature sour cream for the best results. Full-fat, plain, Greek-style yogurt would probably work as a substitute, but I have not tested that version. Do not substitute mayonnaise for the sour cream in these muffins, because you need the acidity in the sour cream to help the muffins rise.
- If you don't have a bag of self-rising flour in your pantry, that's no problem. You can make 1 cup of self-rising flour by placing 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This recipe calls for 2 cups of self-rising flour, so you would need to combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
