Sour Cream Muffins and Pomegranate Raspberry Tea Butter

by Alli

Sour Cream Muffins is a sponsored post for STASH Tea. 

I love homemade bread and savory muffins. When I don’t have the time or inclination for a long, drawn-out bread-making session, I make Savory Sour Cream Muffins with Pomegranate Raspberry Tea Butter. Savory Sour Cream Muffins are so easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients on hand. I serve them warm with tea butter. If you’ve never had tea butter, you’re in for a treat.

Savory Sour Cream Muffins can be served as appetizers or in place of bread at your next dinner party. These little savory muffin bites would be a perfect accompaniment to a charcuterie board.

STASH Pomegranate Raspberry Tea is the perfect combination of tart and bold fruitiness. There’s a touch of matcha (so good for us) for an extra kick of green tea flavor. In addition to green tea, it also contains hibiscus, orange peel, chamomile, and natural raspberry flavor. I love that STASH teas are NON-GMO Verified.

Sour Cream Muffins

I always make the tea butter before baking the savory muffins. This is a really simple process.

Tea Butter for Sour Cream Muffins

Tea Butter

You will need 1/2 cup softened butter. Once the butter is soft enough to stir, empty one STASH Pomegranate Raspberry tea bag into a bowl.

How to Make Pomegranate Tea Butter

Add the butter and stir until well combined. Let the butter sit for a few minutes for the flavors to meld. Or, you can shape into a log, wrap with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until firm. I like to serve it slightly softened. The tea leaves soften into the butter and add the best flavor!

The little savory muffin bites are also simple to make and they practically melt in your mouth. Don’t you just love easy recipes like this?

To make the muffins, you’ll need one cup of butter. Add two cups self-rising flour and beat until combined. Add sour cream and beat until just combined. Spoon into ungreased mini muffin tins.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Helpful Hint: If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, you can easily make your own. Combine one cup of all-purpose flour with 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You’ll need two cups of flour for this recipe.

Tea butter is new to me too but it sounds like a great way to start the day. Fresh muffins and that butter is a nice combination.

I’ve never heard of tea butter, but it sounds quite delicious. I’d love to try those muffins. I’m going to look for some STASH tea, I like that it is non-GMO verified, and it sounds delicious.

This is very interesting. I have never heard of tea butter and I’m intrigued. I have some pina colada tea that I may have to use

Somehow I never tried sour cream muffins but they sound delicious. I bet the sour cream makes them extra moist! Gotta try this.

I am curious about how will it taste. I love Pomegranate Raspberry but I have never tried making a tea butter. Let’s see how will it taste then.
