Muffins and The Coop!

Update on the Coop. Building continues. Look - walls!! The day started cold and with earflaps down, Michael got walls up!! No work now until next week. This weekend: the fishing derby, the fire department banquet, and I leave Sunday morning for the National Fire Academy in Emmitsberg!! Phew!

I have a wonderful recipe to share now that you've looked at the new coop pictures. Feeling the mood to bake, I pulled this recipe off the internet from Allrecipes , and what do you know, at last, a muffin recipe worth making. I highly recommend this one. Yummy! Enjoy. I'll try to do a post from Maryland!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Throw dry ingrediants together: 1 1/2c. flour, 3/4 c. sugar, 1/2 t. salt, 2 t. baking powder.

Now mix up wet ingrediants (this is kind of a clever method). Put 1/3c oil in a 1 cup measuring cup. Throw in an egg and then top off with whipping cream (or milk, that's all I had), put in a bowl and make sure wets are all mixed.

Make topping by throwing 1/2 c. sugar, 1/3 c. flour, 1/4 c. butter (yup, that' a half of a stick baby!) and 1 - 2 t. cinnamon. I spun it around in my little chopper thing.

Now, throw wet with dry, don't stir too much, throw in 1 c. fresh blueberries.

Take this rather thick dough, and put in lined muffin tins. Then put a big spoonfull of the topping on top of each muffin. Bake 20-25 minutes (it was more toward the 25 minutes at this elevation).

I'm telling you, these are GOOD!! And look, they call for an EGG!! Ha! We come full circle!
