It's rhubarb time! Evelyn Winchester of Hilton, New York has a sweet way to put this spring crop to use—her moist muffin recipe. I had several rhubarb plants on our farm in Iowa, Evelyn explains. Even though I moved east to be closer to my children and grandchildren, I still make these muffins. I even won a ribbon with them at the 4-H bake sale here.
Ingredients:
1 egg
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups diced fresh rhubarb
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon butter, melted
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat egg. Add brown sugar, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; beat for 1 minute. Combine dry ingredients; stir into sugar mixture just until moistened. Fold in rhubarb and walnuts.
2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Yield: 1 dozen.
