along the way

hmm - so you probably thought I forgot - go on, admit it!

Tonight I am trying a recipe from Everyday Foods, a coffee cake muffin.
Something I love to eat but have never actually made. I think it is because I have a love-hate relationship with streusel toppings.  I love to eat them, I hate that every time I make it something seems to go wrong with it.


You can find all the details here on the Martha Stewart web page.





For the muffins- 

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup sour cream (I used yogurt instead)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs

For the streusel-

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chilled butter

Directions
preheat oven at 350          butter muffin tins - this should make 12 muffins

1. mix streusel together (I used the food processor) and set aside for later
2. mix wet ingredients adding eggs last one at a time
3. add the dry ingredients
4. fill muffin cups half way with batter, put a spoonful of streusel into each cup then fill the cups with the remaining batter.  cover the tops of the muffins with streusel.
5. bake for 25-30 min.

So I just pulled them out of the oven.  the streusel disappeared - stink! - I did however cut one in half for a taste. pretty yummy, but they did not look like the picture.
