Lightly sweetened with a mix of flours, these are unusual and delightful muffins. The molasses lends a nice deep flavor, the cornmeal a very slight crunch and those golden raisins give you a bite of sweetness. We ate them right out of the oven with butter and they sure brought back some fond memories!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rye flour1/2 cup yellow cornmeal1/2 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour3/4 teaspoon salt1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda1 egg1/3 cup molasses 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar1/3 cup vegetable oil1 cup buttermilk1 cup golden raisins
Method:
Heat oven to 400 F. Grease your muffin pan. Mix together the flours, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, molasses, sugar, oil, and buttermilk. Blend well. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. The batter will be very fluid, that’s OK.
Fill the prepared muffin tins 3/4 of the way and bake for 15 minutes, until your tester comes out clean. Serve hot with butter or cream cheese.
