I forgot about these! Oops

 

Back in '97, I bought a PC fundraiser cookbook and this is my favorite recipe out of it. I make this recipe all the time and a lot of times use blueberries in place of the strawberries.

Strawberry Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

Topping

1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 medium muffin cups with paper liners, or grease bottoms only. For batter, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In small bowl, whisk egg, milk and oil. Add to dry ingredients; stir until just moinstened. (Batter will be lumpy.) Gently stir in strawberries. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup two-thirds full. For topping, combine sugar and cinnmon in small bowl; sprinkle evenly over batter in cups. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

 

The cinnamon crunch cobblestone muffins are fantastic.

 

Susan - what a hard decission!! I would maybe try the cinnamon crunch cobblestone or the crisscross apple crowns. Depends on what mood you're in - fruit or no fruit!

Have fun with your new stone! You've got me wanting muffins for breakfast!
I have a hankering for apple!

I just got so excited for you when I read all the new things you got to play with! Each item you wrote I thought - that's my favorite!

Here are a few recipes to use with the mini muffin pan.

Yes, you can use packaged pie crust dough. Use the scalloped bread tube or the cut 'n seal as your dough cutter.

The mini muffin pan is NOT dishwasher safe.

I didn't realize the mini-muffin pan wasn't dw safe I've been sticking mine in there like I knew what I was doing.

Regarding the mini-ham puffs: my college-age son LOVES them! I think they're good, too. Be sure to chop your onion pretty fine, otherwise they look like onion puffs...

 

Seasoning theStoneware Muffin Pan

It took a few trys before regular muffins didn't stick to the stoneware but the Cinnamon Cobblestone Muffins slide right out!
Also, a good muffin is pumkin chocolate chip-my host made 12 in her stoneware and12 in her aluminum...it was a great demo! BUT i didn't getthe recipe-anyone have it?

 

Susan, your muffins should come out just fine by spritzing them with oil. Make sure you get the edges.
Enjoy!

Recipe suggestion

I saw the coolest thing - individual Pinapple Upside Down Cakes. The cherry and the pinapple ring fit in the bottom and then the batter on top. When you flip them out - you have individual cakes. They were so yummy.

Shannon - I have made those before! They ARE really neat! If you do make them, be warned, sometimes the pineapple will "suction" itself to the bottom and you have to kind of dig it out.

Here is another Stoneware Muffin recipe to try!

Lee Anne

 

I love the BBQ Beef Bundles recipe in an old SBRC...it is made like the Crisscross Apple Bundle things only with ground beef, bbq sauce ,cheese, and maybe some other ingredients, roll the Grand's bisquits into 5 inch circles, fill with beef mixture, bundle up and place with smooth side up, put criss cross cuts on top and bake.... yum!
and the Mandarin Orange Upside down Cakes recipe that comes with the stone.
Mini meat loafs...

Definitely don't limit yourself to only MUFFINS>... you won't sell any if people think that is all they can do with it!

 

you can also bake potatoes in the muffin pan. Or do twice baked or just cut them in half after they are baked, put them back in the muffin pan sprinkle cheese and bacon bits on them, put them back in the oven to melt the cheese.
