How to Make Awesome Sour Cream Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk 1 large egg until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the egg. Whisk until completely smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. **Make the Crumb Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over each muffin.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
