Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line muffin tin.

Tip: Papers protect from drying out.

3

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, then milk.

Tip: Wet emulsion carries the flavor.
4

Pour wet into dry, fold just until flour disappears.

Bake 20-25 mins (toothpick test).

Tip: Don't overbake, nuts burn easily.
7

Cool on rack, dust with sugar.
