MIMI'S CAFE BUTTERMILK SPICE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer.
• When they are thoroughly mixed, add the eggs and beat for 1 more minute.
• Sift the flour into a separate bowl, together with the baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Add the flour and buttermilk to the first mixture, and mix at low speed until smooth.
• To avoid lumps in the batter, add the wet and dry ingredients alternately, in small amounts.
• Make the nut topping by combining all the Nut Topping ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Grease muffin tins with additional butter or margarine, or use paper or foil baking cups.
• Fill each cup ¾ full of batter.
• Add a full rounded tablespoon of the nut topping on top of the batter in each cup.
• Bake immediately, or the topping will sink to the bottom of the muffins, and then you will be mad at yourself - and we don't want that to happen, do we?.
• Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out dry.
• (Home ovens' heat differently from Mimi's commercial ovens, and so you may need to adjust the temperature and/or the baking time accordingly).
• This recipe yields 12 standard-size muffins, or 6 Jumbo-size muffins.
• If you are using jumbo muffin tins, reduce the oven temperature by 25° and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.

BUTTERMILK SPICE CEREAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pour hot water over the three cereals: set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt and soda: set aside.
• Cream shortening and sugar, the consistency will be similar to corn meal.
• Add eggs, mixing well until no bright yellow specks are left. Will still be a consistency like corn meal. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add buttermilk and mix well until batter is smooth like a thick cake batter.
• Cereal mixture will be one huge clump, add to batter in small clumps, beating until there are no clumps left and mixture is well blended into batter.
• Bake in muffin/cupcake liners or in a well greased muffin tin for 22 - 24 minutes until light golden brown.

BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter. With the mixer running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt into a medium-size mixing bowl. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the batter, mixing well. With the electric mixer, in another large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the cake batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until the center springs back when touched, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. After the cakes have cooled, invert them onto sheets of parchment paper. Slice each cake in half and set aside.

• Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon; add to the banana mixture; mix gently to make a soft batter.
