| These are excellent muffins (and you'll have to read the recipe to get the story behind their name). I did not change a thing and they turned out very well. They are moist without being greasy, can take a wide range of fruits (I used frozen raspberries) and have a lovely streusel topping. They're also quite simple to make. They are definitely going to become a family classic.
Update: I've made these several times now and they continue to impress. It's a very versatile recipe, and consistently makes great muffins. |
| I made these exactly as written in the recipe and they were just perfect. The cookies are nice, and the addition of ground almonds makes them a little crumbly, but not so much they are not strong enough to sandwich. And of course dulce de leche is excellent pretty much anywhere.
I made dulce de leche the easy way - I gently simmered a can of sweetened condensed milk for about 3 hours. I know it says on the can not to do this, but I've done it many times with no explosions, and a quick search online found that many people from South America do this also and as long as it's completely covered with water, it seems to be fairly safe. Note however that I take no liability for caramel explosions whatsoever... |
| Very tasty, fluffy muffins. The mixture of cornmeal, lemon and rasbperry is very nice indeed.
However, a caveat. You must use large/jumbo muffin liners with this. I didn't, assuming (foolishly) that the silicone muffin pan I had would make it easy to remove them. Incorrect! They have a tendency to fall apart when they're warm and steaming.
I used whole grain cornmeal, which has a nice crunch to it. I didn't have lemon oil, but the zest of one lemon seemed to do just fine. It's a very wet batter, but rises relatively well - not as much as her Lawsuit muffins though. |
