About This Recipe
“This is an orphan recipe that I adopted from Recipezaar.When I made them, I used buttermilk, but I’d like to try them again with the sour milk.The only other thing was I didn’t cook the first batch quite long enough and they sank in the middle.Was still good.”

Reviews
“Enoyed these muffins. Made two slight changes though–left out the allspice and used half whole wheat flour and half white flour. Would make again.”
“So very glad this recipe was adopted…my muffins came out perfect…both first and second batch made four days later. Made with buttermilk. Did need full cooking time. Let them cool for quite a while in the tins before removing (10-15 minutes easy). Good flavor with light texture.”
