Snicker Doodle Muffins

I found these on a website that I have no idea how to get back to. Good thing I printed the recipe, because they are tasty.

2 sticks butter

1 C Sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp cream of tarter

3/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

1 & 1/4 C sour cream

2 & 1/4 C all purpose flour

1 C sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon mixed together for rolling

Cream the butter and sugar until soft about 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the vanilla. Add in the eggs one at a time, mix until each is incorporated.

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cream of tarter.

Add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately to the egg-butter mixture. Start with the flour and end with the flour. Scrape the bowl occasionally.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out muffin batter one at a time and drop into a shallow bowl filled with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll the muffin around in the mixture until it is covered completely in cinnamon and sugar. Place muffin into a greased muffin tin. Depending on the size of your tins, you should get about 12 to 14 muffins. Bake them for approx. 20-22 minutes in a 350F oven or until they are golden brown.

When I make these I don't use the nutmeg, and I have never used the full amount of sour cream. I have used anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup, just because that was all I had, and they still tasted good.

Enjoy!!

Pumpkin Bread

The first time I made this recipe was in 7th grade Home Ec. We didn't have time to mix it and then bake it for an hour or more, so we made it in a rectangle cake pan. Since we made it as a cake we put a cream cheese frosting on it. It was soooo good. However, I have never made it that way since then, I have always made it in the plain and simple loaf version, and it is still soooo good. I make it every year around Thanksgiving and Christmas to give out to friends and family. My girls will go through at least 2 loaves by themselves.

1 3/4 C. sifted flour
1 1/2 C. sugar
3/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 t. baking soda
3/4 t. salt
1/4 C. + 2 T. water
2 eggs
1/2 C. oil
1 c. canned pumpkin (100% pure-not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 C. nuts (opt.-I don't use them)

Sift all dry ingredients together in large bowl, make a well in the center. Add water, eggs, oil, pumpkin, and nuts (if using). Mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours.
