Heritage Recipe

Double Maple Muffins

Muffin Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 cup maple syrup (use the "real" stuff)

1 cup flour

1 cup bran flakes

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup chopped pecans

Glaze Ingredients:

2/3 cup maple syrup

6 Tablespoons butter

Grease 18 regular muffin cups. In large bowl, beat eggs, then stir in sour cream and maple syrup. Add flour, bran, and baking soda and stir just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Divide evenly among muffin cups. Bake until done (about 15 minutes). Mix butter and remaining maple syrup until well blended.

When muffins are done, remove from muffin cup pans. Place 1 teaspoon glaze in bottom of each cup. Dip top of muffins into remaining glaze and then return upright to muffin cups. Let stand 15 minutes or so to absorb glaze on bottom. Keep spooning glaze over top. Serve warm.
