    • About This Recipe

    “I adopted this recipe in August and have just made them today, 12 November 2005.They are easy to make and very easy to eat:)I have re-listed the ingredients to make it even easier to follow. I used a mix of butter & light flora table spread for the butter/shortening mix. I guess you could use all butter or all shortening if you prefer. I made 24 mini and 6 regular from the mixture. The original recipe said it made 48 mini but I am guessing that it would only make 36 so have added that in the ‘makes’ note.”

  • “I also used mini muffin moulds, so cute! I made the mistake of rolling them in raw sugar, personally I thought it was a nice crunchy topping, but family preferred the white sugar – note in mind :)Apart from that, the muffin itself was quite strong in baking powder, didn’t have the rich flavour I was hoping, but then I’ve never had these before, maybe they were meant to be like this?”

  • “Great!, I made into full size muffins.. It took a bit longer to bake but it was well worth it.”

  • “This was the the recipe that everyone (it seemed) made back in the ’70’s.These were awesome.My mom used the same recipe only she made these into 12 regular sized muffin”
