Honey Muffins

[janedavitt]

My first muffins in the new oven and they were so good, especially warm with a dab of butter (all gone now...partly because when the recipe says 12, I usually get 6. My muffin tin must be giant-sized or something).

Muffins are so darn easy. I'm in love. I keep making different sorts, hurling in fruit or chocolate or zest with a merry tralala.

I tweaked the recipe a bit, swapping the butter for 3 fl oz of veggie oil and adding a teaspoon of ginger and some chopped crystallized ginger. I used the end of a tub of honey and it really helped to heat it in the microwave to make it more liquid.

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

Directions:

1
In a large mixing bowl, add the first 6 ingredients; stir to combine.
2
In another bowl, add the honey, milk, butter, and egg; whisk to combine and until mixture is smooth.

4
Fold in just until moistened (do not overmix).

7
Cool in pan on a wire rack before turning out of pan.

ARG, I keep getting reminded that I need cupcake/muffin tins by awesome stuff like this. It's looks super-interesting from the perspective of throwing it together while other stuff is cooking.
