It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." ~ Melody Beattie
Hello everyone~ What a beautiful day we are having here on the Island! The grass is getting thick and green and will need cutting soon. I love this time of year!
For tea time this week I served Ginger muffins and promised to share the recipe. These are moist and just like mini gingerbread cakes. Yummy! Hope you will give them a try.
Ginger Muffins
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg - I used an extra large egg
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup hot water
1-3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 cup hot water
Combine butter, sugar, egg, molasses and the 1/4 cup of hot water in a mixing bowl. Beat together well.
Meaure next six dry ingredients into the same bowl and stir together.
Gradually stir in the last 1/4 cup of hot water into the batter. Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove. Makes 1 dozen muffins. ~ From a wonderful cook book, Company's Coming.
These muffins are wonderful with just butter or with whipped cream and lemon curd.
Thank you for visiting today and I wish all you lovely moms out there a Happy Mother's Day! Have a beautiful weekend and God bless you!
