For fun, I give my friends this recipe along with a do-it-yourself muffin kit. It includes oven-ready batter in a decorative jar and a few finished muffins to nibble as a sample. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup molasses |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until blended. Fill greased muffin cups half full.
2. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
