Hand me an old book and you will see me smile.
In our home, we love collecting old books, antiques of all kinds, vintage housewares … they all tell a story … and are so delightful to incorporate back into a daily life schedule.
This morning, we had oatmeal and honey muffins for breakfast – the recipe for the muffins is in an old Purity cookbook, dated back to 1932.
They were a delicious breakfast muffin – not too sweet and perfect with homemade strawberry jam. The honey was locally made, as well.
Here is the recipe, if you are interested:
Honey Muffins
2 cups of sifted Purity flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt1 egg
1 cup of milk
4 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons of melted butter
Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Combine beaten egg, milk, honey and cooled butter.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
Pour wet mixture and mix very quickly (mixture should be lumpy, not smooth).
Fill greased muffin tin and bake at once in a hot over of 400′ for 20-25 minutes.
{of course, we double or triple everything because on batch is simply not enough!}
Enjoy!
