What says, spring more than lemon-flavor? I love its tanginess, its brightness and even its color. I have many delicious lemon recipes that I’ve used over the years, including Lemon Loaf,Lemon Meringue Pie, Lemon Pudding Cake and Coconut Cake with Lemon Curd. But since you can’t have too many lemon recipes, I recently made a Lemon Muffin that paired well with the Rotisserie Chicken Dinner I served. My husband loved them! They were equally as good served alongside our breakfast the next morning!
I posted this recipe many years ago, but I’m afraid it’s gotten kind of buried under the list of recipes, and I am re-posting it today to make sure my readers know how GOOD these are!
I had never added chocolate chips to this recipe before, but my grandsons were coming for an afternoon visit, and I knew they would enjoy the addition of some chocolate. My favorite way to eat these is warm with a little butter spread over each half!Continue reading “My Favorite Pumpkin Muffins”→
While visiting my parents recently, I wanted to make a muffin for breakfast that wouldn’t require any “special” ingredients. I thought for a minute, then these beauties came to my mind…French Breakfast Puffs. They require the basics – flour, butter, eggs, milk and spices. The muffin is so fluffy and delicious and it is encased in a crunchy, buttery, cinnamon/sugar coating. These have been a favorite in our family for years! Here’s the simple recipe:
French Breakfast Puffs
1 1/2 C flour 3/4 C sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 C milk 1 egg, beaten 1/3 C butter, melted
Topping 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 C sugar 1/3 C butter, melted
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add milk, beaten egg, and 1/3 cup melted butter. Mix well. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. While the puffs are baking, mix the cinnamon, sugar in a shallow dish. Place the melted butter in another shallow dish. Remove the muffins from the pan while still hot; dip in melted butter, then mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Makes 1 dozen
These are heaven! What a delicious way to start the day!
Do you have a “go-to” muffin you make? If not, these are a great choice!
