I found this recipe for English Walnut Muffins printed in The Daily Times on December 3, 1920. It looked short and easy to make. It only took a few minutes to mix up and about 20 to bake. These were a nice change from the sweet muffins I’ve been used to. There isn’t much sugar, so I could see it pairing nicely with dinner. We ate them as a snack with a little butter on them. They are delicious!
Original Recipe
English Walnut Muffins. 2 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 well-beaten egg, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 level teaspoons baking powder. Mix as for plain muffins; add walnuts last, dusting them with a little flour. Bake in muffin pans in a hot oven.
