These moist old-fashioned molasses cupcakes were my grandmother's specialty. To keep them from disappearing too quickly, she used to store them out of sight. Somehow, we always figured out her hiding places! Ingredients:
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups boiling water |
1 cup molasses |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Add baking soda to remaining crumb mixture. Stir in water and molasses.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen.
