It is snowing today, off and on. We took a lovely, but very windy, walk out in the weather and on return, I whipped these babies up. I made a few modifications to the bread and honey recipe:

Two tablespoons less butter, a half a cup of whole wheat flour to replace 1/2 cup of the 3 cups of ap flour, a 1/2 tsp of vanilla and buttermilk instead of milk and vinager (I always have buttermilk, so why make sour milk?). Mine were a little top heavy; I don't have a big muffin tin.
It is only two hours before we go have dinner with my mother-in-law. I am pretty strict about sweets before dinner; someone must have drilled that into me as child. But I just couldn't resist these perfumey little cakes (muffins is a bit of stretch). As I sit here, I am thinking about grabbing one more.

Harper is reading this over my shoulder and begging me to make these right now! I told her maybe when we visit you week after next...though you'll be back in school then. Peter must enjoy your food blog/baking obsession!
By the way, I am going to make a lamb tagine today. I have the lamb sitting in the spices in the fridge since yesterday. I'll put it together this morning, go to a sledding party this afternoon and then steam the couscous when we get home. If it's beautiful, I'll post pictures for you.
Please tell Harper that I will make these when she comes to visit. They don't take much time at all. Maybe a breakfast of donut muffins and scapple; it that legal.
BTW, yum on lamb tangine. do post, if possible.
Yes! Donut muffins and scrapple! I can't wait.
The muffins sound great... well done! I am going to order a batch from my personal baker, or as I call him, Ed.
