PECAN PIE MUFFINS by Amy

OMG!!! Make these, eat them very warm, almost right out of the oven, (with butter, it's the South and Pecans, you must have butter)
This is when you add Butter to the hot muffin :)   YUM!


















The Recipe: 
Ingredients

  • 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans
  • ⅔ cups Softened Butter
  • 2 whole Eggs Beaten

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven 350 F.
Grease your muffin pan (whatever size) or use the silicone cups. I grease my silicone muffin cups with Crisco or lard.
In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour and pecans. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and eggs together until smooth. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Cups should be about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire racks when done.
Option: when you take them out of the oven, place a slice of butter on top and eat warm. You may also use walnuts instead of pecans.

I HAVE BEEN OVER DOMESTIC THIS WEEK, COOKING LIKE I LIKE IT!

Earlier in the week it was Jambalaya, very good and from scratch with Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp, then yesterday I had to cook because I HAD TO MAKE BLACK EYED PEAS so I would have good luck this year.  Like it has made a difference every other year and then today homemade Beef Stew.

Wow it's been a very hardy cooking week.
Next week, Puffed Air and Fried Water all week.
