MUFFINS FOR THE QUEEN

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Then cream the butter, sugar and eggs, beating them until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Make 3 dry and 2 liquid additions, combining lightly after each. Stir in the wheat germ and raisins. Fill muffin tins making 16 in all. Bake in 375 oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Notes: These muffins were made for the Queens visit in 1957 to Canada.

QUEEN'S BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine cereal in extra-large bowl and pour bowling water over it to soften while you make the batter.
• In a mixer, cream together sugar and apple sauce. Add eggs one at a time to incorporate.
• Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to the mixer, alternating between flour and buttermilk to make batter. Scrape down sides of the bowl as needed. Once, combined, pour batter over cereal and stir until all is incorporated. Let the mixture sit a few minutes so cereal will soften in the batter.
• Spoon into greased muffin tins. Bake in preheated oven at 400* for 16-18 minutes. Do not overcook. They are best when they are "just done" and not beyond that so the centers stay really moist.
