Blueberry Muffins

I made these Blueberry Muffins in 1987 for the first time, and they were so delicious and easy that I’ve made them every year since.  It’s now 2012, and I know that every time you go to the fruit section at the market, the first thing you see is BLUEBERRIES.  I keep on thinking of toasting the blueberry muffins with butter, and having a nice hot cup of tea.  Boy, that does sound good.

½ cup sugar

¼ margarine or butter, softened

1 egg

2 ½ cups flour

4 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

½ cup blueberries, washed and drained

Topping:   ½ cup sugar

½ tsp. cinnamon

1/3 cup flour

¼ cup cold butter

 

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Line the cupcake pans with paper liners; about 12 to 14.  Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.  Beat in egg.  In separate bowl; combine flour, baking powder and salt.  Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture alternately with the milk; and vanilla and beat well.  Then fold in the blueberries.

In small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, flour and butter.  Mix until crumbly.  Sprinkle over batter.  Then bake the muffins on 375 F. for 20 to 25 minutes

In large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; beat 2 minutes at medium speed.  Fill prepared muffin cups half full.  Top each with tablespoon of cream cheese mixture.  Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and chopped nuts; sprinkle evenly over cupcakes.

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs

July 7, 2012 Leave a Comment

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs

The first time I made the Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs I was living in Albany, NY back in 1987.  My husband’s family came to Albany one weekend, so I had made dinner, and I made these Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs for dessert.   It was the first time I had made these puffs, and I was so surprised when I bit into one of them.  You’ll have to make them to see what I mean.

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs

 

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs

¼ cup sugar

2 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 (8 oz.) cans Pillsbury Refrigerated Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls

16 marshmallows

¼ cup margarine, melted

Glaze:    ½ powdered sugar

½ tsp. vanilla

2 to 3 tsp. milk

¼ cup chopped nuts

Heat oven to 375F.  In small bowl, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon.  Separate dough into 16 triangles.  Dip a marshmallow in melted margarine; roll in sugar mixture.  Place marshmallow on wide end of each triangle.  Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle, rolling to opposite point.  Completely cover marshmallow, pinching edges of dough to seal.  Dip in melted margarine; place margarine side down in ungreased large muffin cup.  Repeat with remaining marshmallows.  Bake at 375F. for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.  (To guard against spillage during baking, place foil or cookie sheet on rack below muffin cups.)  Immediately remove from pans.  In small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm rolls.  Sprinkle with nuts.   16 rolls
