Mimi's Cafe Buttermilk Spice Muffins
Total Time: 55 mins
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter or 1/2 cup unsalted margarine
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 fluid ounces buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk, additional
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Recipe
- 1 heat oven to 375°f.
- 2 in a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer.
- 3 when they are thoroughly mixed, add the eggs and beat for 1 more minute.
- 4 sift the flour into a separate bowl, together with the baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
- 5 add the flour and buttermilk to the first mixture, and mix at low speed until smooth.
- 6 to avoid lumps in the batter, add the wet and dry ingredients alternately, in small amounts.
- 7 make the nut topping by combining all the nut topping ingredients together in a small bowl.
- 8 grease muffin tins with additional butter or margarine, or use paper or foil baking cups.
- 9 fill each cup ¾ full of batter.
- 10 add a full rounded tablespoon of the nut topping on top of the batter in each cup.
- 11 bake immediately, or the topping will sink to the bottom of the muffins, and then you will be mad at yourself – and we don’t want that to happen, do we?.
- 12 bake at 375°f for 20 to 25 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out dry.
- 13 (home ovens’ heat differently from mimi’s commercial ovens, and so you may need to adjust the temperature and/or the baking time accordingly).
- 14 this recipe yields 12 standard-size muffins, or 6 jumbo-size muffins.
- 15 if you are using jumbo muffin tins, reduce the oven temperature by 25° and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
