Honey Muffins
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It's hard to believe that anything this quick and simple to whip up could also be delicious. You'll just have to take my word for it until you try them for yourself. These muffins have an old-fashioned quality that makes folks nostalgic for the simplicity of grandma's kitchen. Berries and nut and other additions would come as times improved, but these were her most basic muffins and they got their flavor from a small amount of honey. That honey is a blessing and a curse. These muffins want to stick to the pan, so be sure to grease your muffin cups really well or you'll need a jack hammer to release them. I love to make these for morning coffee meetings. They are easy to transport and everyone seems to love them. I think you will, too. They are light, tender and delicious. Here's the recipe.
Honey Muffins...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Taste of Home Magazine
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease or line standard muffin cups with paper liners.
2) Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
3) Combine egg, milk, butter and honey in a small bowl.
4) Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened.
5) Fill prepared muffin cups three-fourths full with batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

ReplyDeleteLooks so delicious and yes plain is good for me too!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a fan of plain baking - pound cake, heavy white cakes etc - so perhaps these will be for me too!
ReplyDeleteNon ho mai provato questi muffin, li proverò sicuramente ;)
ReplyDeleteHoney does the trick:)Of course simple things and especially when grandma made them are the best:)

Gorgeous muffins, looks awesome..
ReplyDeleteLovely muffins! Simple and yummy! I would prefer these plain too! Have a nice day!

ReplyDeleteSimple recipes are pretty much my favorite. It's perfect when you can taste the ingredients as well... In this case, the honey. Would you say it's important to choose a dark honey, buckwheat for example????
ReplyDeletei would love few of these right now with my coffee!!
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm.......
ReplyDeleteMary strikes again!
Sometimes simple is the best! These sound wonderful and my mouth is watering thinking of them slathered with butter and a bit of raspberry jam!

Honey muffins looks awesome perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love using honey as a sweetener. It is a challenging one to use since it does stick and brown faster than sugar, but I think it's worth it. These look beautiful and I love the golden edges.
ReplyDeleteLook delicious Mary,have a good day....
