Old Fashioned Sour Cream Muffins
My grandma used to make these sour cream muffins whenever
we would go to visit her.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups sour cream
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or cinnamon/sugar for
topping
Instructions
1. Cream butter, sugar and salt at high speed with electric
mixer. Beat for 3 minutes until very smooth and creamy. Make a
hole in the middle and add eggs; beat them until they are
thoroughly incorporated and are a light lemon color. Add the
sour cream, and beat well.
2. In another bowl mix the flour, baking soda and nutmeg with a
fork.
3. Grease 3 dozen muffin cups or use paper cups. Preheat the
oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Quickly mix the wet and dry ingredients together. As soon as
the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened, fill 3 dozen
muffin cups half full. Sprinkle each muffin with 1/4 teaspoon
granulated sugar or the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake for 15
minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes then loosen from the pan.
5. Serve hot.
6. NOTE: To make blueberry muffins, fold in 2 cups floured
fresh or frozen dry blueberries or currants. This will add 6
more muffins so prepare 42 muffin cups.
