FRESH LEMON AND GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Grease muffin cups or use foil or paper baking cups. Finely chop the ginger. Finely grate the lemon peel so you have 2 tablespoons. In a large bowl, beat butter and the 1 cup sugar with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add ginger and lemon peel. Stir baking soda into yogurt or buttermilk; it will start to bubble and rise up. Fold flour into ginger mixture one third at a time, alternating with the yogurt. When well blended, scoop into muffin cups. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and springy to the touch. While muffins bake, mix lemon juice and the 2 tablespoons sugar in a small dish. Stir until sugar dissolves. When muffins are baked, remove from oven and let cool 3 to 5 minutes in pan. Remove from pan and dip top and bottom into lemon juice and sugar mixture. Note: If you have a food processor use this method: Peel one lemon with a vegetable peeler. Put ginger, lemon peel, and the 1 cup sugar into the food processor, fitted with a steel blade. Process 1 to 2 minutes, scraping sides once, until lemon peel and ginger are very finely chopped. Add butter; process about 30 seconds until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, processing briefly after each addition. Scrape mixture into a large bowl; if it looks curdled, don't worry. Add baking soda, yogurt, and flour and continue as above.

GINGER & WHITE PEACH MUFFIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line or grease muffin tray.
• Make peach topping: Add the butter, honey, and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger to a medium sauté pan. Heat over medium heat, and bring to a simmer, about 2 minutes, and stir to combine. Add peach slices and carefully toss to coat peaches. Set aside.
• Make batter: In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry mix ingredients (oat flour-*see head note, all-purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). In a separate bowl, combine all of the wet mix ingredients together (melted butter, milk, sour cream, egg, fresh ginger, and crystalized ginger), whisking until well combined. Gently mix the wet mix into the dry mix, stirring until just combined (small pockets of dry mix are ok to leave).
• Using an ice cream scoop or two large spoons, fill baking tins until slightly mounding. Lay a couple peach slices on each muffin, pressing them slightly into the batter. Spoon the peach topping juices over the peaches.
• Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until golden, peaches caramelized, and a toothpick comes our clean from testing the center of the muffins. Remove from oven.
• While still hot, gently pop each muffin out of the tins and lay them on their side in the cups to allow them to cool. This helps keep the muffins to stay crusty rather than soggy. Muffins can keep for a couple days in an airtight container, but why leave something so tasty sitting around. Enjoy them in their prime, the day they were made!

GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line standard size muffin tin with paper liners.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, egg, and hot water until smooth. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and whisk until no dry pockets of flour remain. Divide batter among 10 of the lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until the center of the muffins springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
• Make Frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix on low until combined. Increase speed to medium high and beat until lightened and fluffy. Transfer Frosting to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe small swirls in the center of each crater on the top of each muffin.

FRESH GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease 16 muffin pans.
• If you have a food processor, process the ginger until it is in tiny pieces. Or, hand chop it into fine pieces. You should have about 1/4 cup. It is better too much ginger than too little.
• Put the ginger and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture is hot. Do not walk away from the pan - the sugar will melt quite quickly. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
• Put the lemon zest and 3 tablespoons sugar in the food processor and process until the peel is in small bits. Or, sprinkle the sugar over the zest and chop by hand. Add the zest and sugar mix to the ginger mixture and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the butter slightly, then add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the buttermilk and mix until blended. Add the flour, salt and baking soda and beat until smooth. Add the lemon-ginger mixture and mix well.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups so that each cup is about 3/4 full. Bake 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.

The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Stir in 3/4 cup crystallized ginger, reserving the remaining 3 tablespoons for the topping.
• Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved crystallized ginger onto the tops of the muffins, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.

FRESH GINGER MUFFINS (GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease muffin tins or use paper liners.
• Peel a chunk of fresh gingerroot and grate it very finely, then cut off another chunk and grate it, until you have 2 oz or about 1/4 cup.
• Grind the sugar (I use my good old electric coffeegrinder for this).
• In a small saucepan, slowly heat half of the sugar and the grated gingerroot until all sugar has melted and mixture is hot.
• Turn off heat and stir in lemon zest.
• Cream the remaining sugar with the margarine until well combined, then stir in eggs one by one.
• Add the soy yogurt and mix until smooth. Stir in ginger-lemon mixture.
• Sift flours, salt, guar/xanthan gum and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Note 1: If your cake flour mix already contains xanthan or guar gum, there's no need to add extra. Note 2: If you use a store bought mix, there will probably be a leavening agent in it already, in this case add only 3/8 tsp baking soda.
• Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture gradually. Beat until smooth.
• Fill up the muffin tins so that each cup is almost full (they will rise up beautifully but sink back in for 20% or so ;-))
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool for a couple of minutes and transfer to a wire rack, until cool enough to handle.
• Serve warm.
