RECIPES TO USE WHEN YOU WIN THE PEACH BUTTER GIVEAWAY OR NOT

Today I was thinking that it would be nice to post some recipes to could be use with the giveaway.  Thing like muffins, breads, biscuits and rolls.  I decided that in the spirit of the giveaway I would focus on frugal recipes.  In these days in time I think everyone can appreciate this.

This is a frugal hint for people who enjoy baking: If you bake a lot, buy yeast in quantity at a bakery supply store or large warehouse store and you can buy by the pound. You will come out better in the long run. It's much cheaper in bulk than the little packets sold in grocery stores.




               

Spice Muffins


• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 2/3 cup butter at room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk

Sugar & spice coating
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar mixed with
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 12-cup muffin tin (or coat with non-stick spray).

Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg & baking powder. Set aside. Beat together 2/3 cup butter and 1 cup sugar, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time and beat in. Add dry ingredients in three portions, alternately with milk, combining just until well mixed. Divide batter among 12 muffin cups. Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly golden. Cool about 3 minutes, then remove from pan.

While still warm, use a pastry brush to brush muffins with melted butter and then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture until the muffins are well coated on all sides.
