After testing a half dozen different corn muffin recipes, I found myself noticing quite a difference between Northern corn muffin recipes and Southern corn muffin recipes.
When I made this muffin, I wanted the best qualities of each regions take on the muffin. So I made a slightly sweet muffin, with a balanced corn flavor, that was moist and tender in texture.
In separate bowl, whisk milk, sour cream, honey, melted butter and egg together until smooth.
Whisk flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt, sugar, and chili powder together in large bowl. Stir in cheddar, corn jalapeno and cilantro, breaking up any clumps.
