These were pretty good. Simple but good and I am all about simple but good. They kind of reminded me of Amish Friendship Bread. That was the flavor I identified them with anyway and I happen to love Amish Friendship Bread.
Here's where I deviated from the recipe:
♥ Instead of using my hands to cut in the shortening, I used my mixer and whisk attachment. I started with my hands and it was quite a mess, which made me wonder why my mixer was watching me do something she could do infinitely better.
♥ I substituted 3/4 cup sour skim milk and 1/4 cup sour cream for the buttermilk and it seemed to work pretty well.
What I would do next time:
♥ I would bake them at a lower temp next time, probably 325. They seemed overly brown on the outside when they were just done in the middle. (Maybe my oven runs a little hot, I will have to look into that.)
♥ Make more topping. You can never have too much topping, can you?
♥ I would probably half the recipe so I don't eat so many. Or give some away.
I hope you all are having a great election day!

Good call on halving the recipe. I did the same thing!
ReplyDeleteMine were really brown too, so I think turning down the oven is a good idea! I'm glad they turned out well :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see these were a hit for you. They came out very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI halved the recipe as well - after I read that they were only good coming out of the oven. Yours did turn out pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are perfect looking muffins! Beautiful!
