This is the first time in awhile that I found a fantastic recipe that I didn't need to tweak. I could tweak it to make it less fattening... but whatever. I don't have to fit into a wedding dress anymore. :) (Let's see how long it takes Justin to read that...)
But alas, I got this recipe from About.com in the section Southern Foods. Super easy. Super good. Stay tuned for more postings.... including Justin's tomato sauce (we also got dozens and dozens of tomatoes), focaccia bread, peach hot sauce, peach cake, peach salsa, and maybe a pie, cobbler, and/or crisp.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 medium peaches peeled, diced (about 1 cup diced - can use frozen thawed or canned)
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease and flour 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners. Combine topping ingredients until mixture is crumbly; set aside.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together butter, milk, and egg in a separate bowl. Stir milk/egg mixture into the flour mixture and blend just until moistened. Fold in diced peaches. Spoon into muffin cups; sprinkle evenly with topping mixture.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan.
Makes 12 muffins.
