, United States
| 1 ½ cups sifted, all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder A pinch of salt 1 tablespoon cinnamon ½ cut soft butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cut milk ½ teaspoon allspice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soften butter and sugar together in the microwave. Beat in eggs. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, allspice and stir into wet mix, alternating with the milk.
Pour into greased muffin pans and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry. Allow time for muffin to cool before removing from pan (or they will fall apart). Full recipe: 15-16 muffins Half recipe: 8 muffins
Story of these muffins: You never know where youll find a really good recipe. As a child, my Brownie troop visited the electric companys demonstration kitchen and received a packet of recipes. And with one of those child-size baking outfits I also received some simple recipes. My mother saved them all. About the time we opened our first inn I came into possession of these made-for-children-to-bake recipes.
Trouble is, the best recipe is NOT totally foolproof, or child-easy. NEVER FILL THE CUPS MORE THAN ½ TO 2/3 FULL. These muffins rise a great deal, and can overflow, making a really ugly muffin. However, they taste great and never fail to get raves from our guests.
Display on a decorative plate. Dust with confectioner's or brown sugar (use a small seive).
