Amy Look! I got this nubby little Pioneer Woman "cupcake stand"! So I made Ginger Pear Muffins as an excuse to show off this stand. The muffins are yummy by the way. Ginger Pear Muffins From: Mollie Katzen's Sunlight Cafe Note: This is one of my favorite cookbooks ever. Ginger Pear Muffinsbutter to grease muffin pan (or paper liners) 1 cup finely chopped (peeled) pear 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1/3 cup very finely minced crystallized ginger 1 cup buttermilk 1 large egg 1 to 3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease muffin tin with butter or line with papers. Place chopped pear in shallow dish and drizzle with the lemon juice. (set aside…) Combine flours, salt, baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest in a medium sized bowl. Stir in minced crystallized ginger. In a 2 cup measure, beat gently the buttermilk, egg, fresh ginger and vanilla with a fork or whisk until smooth. Combine these three mixtures together, along with the melted butter, in the dry mixture bowl. Stir with rubber spatula until all dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool a bit before serving? (Makes 8-10 muffins…) NikitaCheck out this adorable cake stand my friend, Makayla, found for me. The simple white goes well with my kitchen and makes these cute miniature cherry pies pop visually! Now, I need a round dome to go over the top. Feel free to send me recommendations when you see something. BTW, I used cherry pie filling in the can because it's not cherry season..... Two lovely bake options from Amy and Nikita
