Peach Nutella Muffins
Here’s how I remember what one needs to make a muffin:
You need:
Fetal Bovine Serum
Extra-Sensory Perception
Recipe:
Flour – 2 cups
Butter – 4TBs (half a stick)
Sugar – 1 cup
Egg – 1
Salt – about 1tbsp
Powder (baking) – 1TB
Sour cream – 5/4cup.
(Above taken from cook’s illustrated. Below taken out of ether)
Vanilla – 1 cap full (the tiny little cap that comes on the extract bottle)
Nutella – 1/4 cup or so
Peach jam – 1/4 cup or so
Coarsely Crushed Walnuts – 1/2 cup
Zest of one tangerine
Topping:
Finely obliterated-with-a-wooden-stick walnuts – 1/8 cup
White sugar – 1TB
Cinnamon – 1TB
Preheat oven 350. Combine flour and softened butter. Add sugar and salt. Add egg, sour cream. Add baking powder. I only had 3/4 cup of sour cream leftover, so I just added milk after that. It doesn’t give as rich and creamy a muffin, but it works. I added milk until batter had consistency of thick pudding. Blend the vanilla in/zest in. Lightly mix in nutella/peach jam/coarse walnuts. Sprinkle on topping. Put in oven. Pour batter into muffin trays. Watch TV until mom shouts “DID YOU BURN THE MUFFINS YET?” Go “Oh CRAP!”
