Boston Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints All-purpose flour
• 1/2 pint Cornmeal
• 1 tablespoonful Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoonful Salt
• 2 teaspoonfuls Baking powder
• 1 tablespoonful Butter (Originally lard. Substituted with butter for modern preference.)
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1 pint Milk
• 1 teaspoonful Ground cinnamon (Originally Royal Extract Cinnamon.)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. 2Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs, milk, and cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, creating a batter slightly thicker than pancake batter.
3. 3Heat a griddle over medium heat and grease it. Place muffin rings (also greased) on the griddle. Fill the rings halfway with batter. As the muffins rise to the top of the rings, gently flip them with a spatula. Bake until nicely browned on both sides, about 7-8 minutes total.
