Ingredients

250 grams (9 oz or 2 cups) all-purpose flour

100 grams (3.55 oz or ½ cup) su gar

15 grams (3 tsp) baking powder

2 1/2 grams (½ tsp) sa lt

1 egg

240 milliliters (8 fl oz or 1 cup) milk

60 grams (2 oz or ¼ cup) butter, melted

85 grams (3 oz or ¼ cup) ho ney

pine nuts to sprinkle

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Grease a muffin pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, the sugar, the baking powder and the salt.

In a small bowl, beat together the egg, the milk, the butter and the honey and then stir the mixture into the dry ingredients.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Remove from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack.

Note: these muffins are better served warm. If you are looking for muffins with a strong taste, this is NOT the recipe for you. Wally thought they were pretty bland in taste. I like them because they were light and because the not so strong taste made them perfect to be spread with butter and/or jam (or nutella or any yummy spread you can think of), almost like a biscuit!

Btw, if you stick to the original recipe from Taste of Home, they claim these muffins are 182 calories each, so...pretty guilt free! :)

Have a sweet day!
