Dear Myra, Made these this morning, when your dough is proofing time stops.
How can a relatively easy recipe be so good, I'm embarrassed, I ate them all, by myself, the first three were with bacon paste & homemade apple butter, pipping hot from the iron skillet, the remaining muffins didn't make it until noon. The second batch is rising as I type, I have to freeze some just to see how they come out.
Now I can't wait to try preparing them with some Saco buttermilk blend
Can't thank you enough for this recipe!1 replyI've cooked/tasted this recipe!

January 8, 2013I like muffins. I like corn and blueberry ones. This is another to add for me to try. Sounds good.

Reminds me that I need to get my sourdough ones on here too. I use a flat griddle large enough to cover two adjacent burners on the stove and a surface thermometer to get the right temps so they cook slowly.
I haven't made any in a long time. Might just be time to do it.
