Brown Sugar Muffins

This recipe for Brown Sugar Muffins is quick and easy to make. The muffins stay moist. They have just the right amount of sweetness to make them delicious. My mother used to make these when I was growing up and I have fond memories of waiting for her to bring them out of the oven. It was so hard to wait for them to cool enough to eat.  Try making some delicious memories with your family 

Ingredients

1/2 c butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk*

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.  Lightly spray or line 14 to 16 muffin tins with paper liners.

Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well.

Combine flour, soda and salt in a separate bowl.

Mix in a fourth of the milk.  Add a fourth of the flour mixture, mixing in well. Continue to alternate between the milk and flour mixture, making sure that you are ending with the milk.

Pour into muffin tins, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until done. If you are using smaller sized muffin tins, bake for less time. Test with a toothpick to make sure the muffins are done.

*You can also use sour milk for this recipe. To make your own sour milk, pour in 1 tablespoon vinegar into the bottom of a measuring cup. Pour in enough milk to equal one cup. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. The mixture will thicken and become clumpy.
