Kentucky Muffins
What exactly are Kentucky Muffins you’re probably asking yourself. Well, they are beautiful, rich and moist muffins that sometimes start breakfast at Carriage Corner.
The recipe is from my friend Cami and she graciously shared it with me.
Often – I mix up the batter the night before I want to bake them, just to save a little time in the morning. Although truthfully, these are quick and easy to make.
You’ll need the usual suspects to make Kentucky Muffins – flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, eggs, and water. There are a few unusual and occasionally hard to ingredients: powdered vanilla, and butterscotch pudding. If you are unable to find the butterscotch pudding you can substitute salted caramel pudding with good results.
Don’t forget to stop by Centerville Bulk during your stay at Carriage Corner to grab many of the ingredients you’ll need in bulk.
Enough talking – let’s get to baking!
