Anadama bread, a traditional New England yeast bread made with cornmeal and molasses (said to have been created by a woman from Massachusetts named Anna), is the inspiration for the following muffins. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup yellow corn meal |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup dried currants |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted lightly |
1 cup sour cream |
2 large eggs |
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter twelve 1/3-cup muffin tins.
2. In a bowl whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, currants, and pecans. In a small bowl whisk together sour cream, eggs, butter and molasses. Add sour cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).
