  • ⅓ cup (76 grams) plus 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, softened and divided
  • ¾ cup (118 grams) fresh corn kernels
  • ¾ cup (130 grams) ¼-inch-diced red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) minced garlic (3 to 4 cloves)
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
  • ½ cup (50 grams) fine ground stone-ground yellow cornmeal
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 (0.25-ounce) package (7 grams) instant yeast*
  • 2 teaspoons (6 grams) kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) onion powder
  • ½ cup (120 grams) water
  • ⅓ cup (80 grams) sour cream
  • 1 large egg (50 grams), room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (5 grams) finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) salted butter, melted
  • Softened salted butter, to serve
  • Garnish: chopped fresh dill
  1. In a 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add corn, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent excess browning. Transfer to a large bowl, spreading into as thin a layer as possible. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1 cup (125 grams) flour, cornmeal, sugar, yeast, salt, and onion powder at medium-low speed until combined.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat ½ cup (120 grams) water, sour cream, and remaining ⅓ cup (76 grams) unsalted butter over medium heat until butter is melted and an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm sour cream mixture to flour mixture; beat at medium-low speed until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add egg, dill, and remaining 1 cup (125 grams) flour; beat at low speed just until combined. Increase mixer speed to high, and beat for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. (Mixture consistency will be a cross between a very thick cake batter and a very wet, slack dough.) Add cooled corn mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Stir down batter, releasing as many air bubbles as possible. Divide batter among wells, filling up to ¼ inch from top rim (about 70 grams or a rounded ¼ cup each). (It’s OK if not all wells get filled.) Using lightly greased fingertips, smooth tops of batter into an even layer. Cover with a greased sheet of plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  6. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Brush tops with melted butter. Serve warm with softened salted butter, and garnish with dill, if desired.
