This special holiday bread recipe combines two of my favorites— tangy dried cranberries and spicy cardamom. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 egg |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
cardamom butter: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cardamom |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir in the buttermilk, egg, butter, cranberries and nuts just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.
2. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. Combine cardamom butter ingredients; serve with muffins. Yield: 14 muffins (about 3/4 cup butter).
