Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Crabapple jam
Molasses butter, recipe follows
Strawberry butter, recipe follows
1 tablespoon molasses
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter at room temperature
3 large strawberries
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter at room temperature
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 8 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, then 1/3 of the melted butter, and stir gently just until incorporated. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and melted butter, being careful not to over-mix; there may be a little flour not mixed in at the end. Use an ice-cream scoop or large spoon to fill the muffin cups half full. Bake until risen, light golden brown, and firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes in the pan.
  • Molasses Butter: Cream the ingredients in a food processor or an electric mixer until fully combined. Strawberry Butter: Clean and hull the strawberries. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and cream until fully combined.
  • To serve, spoon a dollop of jam, or spread the compound butters onto the top of the muffins.

FEATHER LIGHT MUFFINS



Feather Light Muffins image

I have loved these muffins for years, originally finding it in a Taste of Home magazine and tweaking it over the years. I offered the recipe, along with others, to my cooking class high school students on 'cupcake/muffin' day. One team made these. They were the first ones done and the muffins where beautiful. A big hit and easy...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 c butter
1/2 c white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c flour, all purpose
11/2 tsp bakingpowder
12/ tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c milk or buttermilk (plus more to have on hand)
TOPPING
1/2 c white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. If you use buttermilk, which is thicker, you may need to add more to make the batter not too thick but not too thin. Preheat the oven to 325.
  • 2. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy and add in the egg. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk (buttermilk).
  • 3. This makes about 8 muffins. So either grease the muffin tin or add muffin papers. Put in enough batter to fill more than half of the muffin cup, about 2/3 full. Bake for20-25 minutes, checking and rotating at 15 minutes.
  • 4. Let cool for 3-4 minutes while you whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Have the melted butter on hand. Dip the tops of the muffins in melted butter and roll in the sugar. Set aside to cool, or eat them all warm. They are delightful!
