AB has never done me wrong. Oh, I’ve done his recipes wrong in the past, but on closer inspection it always turned out to be something that I did, vs. anything that was incorrect in the procedures or methods he handed out. He did us right again this time, and I thank him for it greatly.
My wife whipped these up for breakfast the other morning. All-in-all, it took roughly twice as long as it would have to use a mix, and the result was so much better that I’ll never consider the mix version again. To be honest, I don’t have a lot to say about these, or the process. Just that they were a hit with the entire family, from myself, to Mr. Seat of his Diapers, everyone loved them.
Even Buster our Boston Terrier managed to sneak a few bites. (Though I think Lil’ man might have helped!)

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Zero.
These muffins were so absolutely perfect that I can’t think of a way to make them better. At least not right now. Perhaps after a few rounds I’ll start playing with ingredients, but for now, I’m making them in the method given.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. They look awesome. Hey Jerry, do you want a second wife? You like to cook and I like to eat. :-) I think we’d make the perfect match. lol
I agree…homemade muffins outrank store-bought mix by a mile. These look delicious!
