For all of you dealing with tons and tons snow right now, here’s a fantastic family recipe I want to share with you. When I was little, growing up in the snowy tundra, my Mom would have us make these amazing ‘snow muffins‘. There’s something so cool about cooking with snow!! You have to try it!
Snow Muffins
I have to say, I love the fact that this recipe is on its original faded paper with my Mom’s handwriting about how these are ‘neat’ ‘nice + high + fluffy’. I don’t know the original source of this recipe, sorry. It’s been in my Mom’s recipe box forever! The last time we made these together was in 1992 when a huge blizzard socked New York and we were unable to leave on a planned trip. Love this recipe and hope you will too!
Snow Muffins
Just before you need it, collect 1 1/2 cups fresh, loosely packed snow.
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup currants or raisins
Grease 12 medium-size muffin cups. Preheat the oven to 375F.
Measure the butter and melt it over low heat in a small pan.
Mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the melted butter and milk. Don’t worry if the mixture is lumpy. Quickly mix in the snow and currants or raisins, stirring only to blend. Spoon into muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until light brown.
Enjoy!
