Care of Nigella:
Filling:
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (Pistachios would be better.)
3 TBL melted butter/margarine
1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Cake:
1 1/4 scant c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. sugar
1 big egg
3 TBL melted butter/margarine
1 + 2 TBL CLABBERED milk = 1 c. skim milk + 2 TBL lemon juice or vinegar (I used both!) --mix together and wait 5 minutes
Honey to drizzle
1. Mix all of the filling ingredients together. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar all together. Then mix the clabbered milk, the egg, and the butter together.
3. Mix the dry and wet together very carefully. Put muffins cups in a 12 muffin tin. Fill them with the batter 1/3 of the way up. Add a scant tablespoon of the filling to each. Then fill each cup 2/3 of the way full with remaining batter. Scatter leftover walnut topping on the tops.
4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Take them out of the tin-carefully! And put them on a rack to cool and be drizzled. I recommend putting a piece of wax paper underneath the rack to avoid messes. Then drizzle honey on each muffin--it's messy but it gets absorbed.
Maybe you want to listen to this song while you eat them.
I like bran muffins better.
