Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375° F. Grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin and set it aside.
In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine well. Add the sour cream, butter, eggs, and milk, mixing to combine after each addition. Add the corn kernels and mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (the cups will be quite full). Shake the pan back and forth to evenly distribute the batter.

Place in the center of the preheated oven, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are very lightly browned on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
