Thank you Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake for choosing this weeks recipe. You can find it on page 6 of Dories cookbook, From my home to yours.
Oh my goodness did these taste good smothered with butter and plum jam on top!
The muffin batter was easy to mix....
I used my mini muffin pans.....
Here is a little sweet history for you.....
Muffin recipes first began to appear in print in the mid 18th century and quickly caught on. By the 19th century muffin men walked the streets of England at tea time to sell there muffins. They wore trays of English muffins on there heads and rang there bells to call customers to there wares. 
Three states in the United States of America have adopted official muffins. Minnesota has adopted the blueberry muffin as the official state muffin. Massachusetts in 1986 adopted the Corn Muffin as the official state muffin. Then in 1987 New York took on the Apple Muffin as its official muffin of choice.
So next time you bite into a warm muffin think about its sweet history.

I did not make the savory pepper muffin. I chose to try Dorie's Playing Around and kept my muffins plain without all the spices. I just couldn't bring myself to add chili pepper and more pepper to my muffins. I guess I like my food more on the dessert side of life!
I like these muffins and so did my family!
Sorry my picture is so dark.. the muffin guy is smiling at you!!
Join TWD next week as we bake the Berry Surprise Cake found on pages 273-275. Im looking fwd to baking this one!

Cute mini muffins! And I love the smiley muffins :)
I was going to try the plain version, but we were having them with roast chicken. Next time, though, definitely!
i love the mini muffins. i made mine jumbo, and while they were yummy, they were a lot to eat in one sitting.
glad to know the plain version came out well. i'm definitely going to try them that way too. great job!
Love the smiling muffin man!
I made mine plain as well and LOVED them! Yours are so precious!
Love the minis! And those jams look sooo delicious!
odYour muffins look wonderful! I was almost thinking of making the non-spicy version as well because we love every kind of corn muffin. The plum jam sounds delicious, I don't think I've ever tried that! Love the muffin history and state muffins, what an educational post :)
Look at your blog growing!! I LOVE the pictures...you are really getting good at this, Mich - I'm so impressed! Where's the berry cake pictures? I'm still having a few problems finding my way around these blogs. Since there's no picture in the cookbook, I would love to see what it looks like when baked. Her cookbook really is incredible - I am so glad we found it (wasn't it you that recommended it to me??). Congrats on your blog and keep up the great posting...Sally
