2 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp buttermilk, powdered
1/2 tsp sage leaves
1/4 cup cheese, parmesan, grated
1 1/4 cup water, hot
1/4 cup butter
1 eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 400. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups. In
large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, sage,
buttermilk powder, and cheese. Blend well. Add hot water, butter, and
egg; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill prepared
muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake 15-20 minutes, until toothpick inserted
into center comes out clean. Serve hot.
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Prepare muffin batter as directed above. Using
6 cup microwave-safe muffin pan, line each with 2 paper baking cups
to absorb moisture during baking. Fill cups 1/2 full. Sprinkle top of
each muffin with cornflake crumbs. Microwave 6 muffins on HIGH for 2
1/2 to 3 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean, rotating pan 1/2 turn halfway through baking. Remove muffins
from pan and immediatedly discard outer baking cups. Cool 1 minute on
wire rack before serving. Repeat with remaining batter.
Sylvia's comments: I don't have a microwave-safe muffin pan, so just
baked them in the oven. The tops had the tipped-hat look I sometimes
get in breadmachine bread, and Peter commented that the muffins
tasted just like my bread. It's not a bad recipe, but it's not good
enough that I want to keep it.

The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Closer to modern times, there are some recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of that time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
