MMMMM------------------------DRY MIXTURE-----------------------------
2 c Flour, all-purpose
1/2 c Sugar, granulated
2 1/2 t Baking powder
1/2 t Salt
1/2 c Peanut butter, chunky
2 T Butter
MMMMM-----------------------MOIST MIXTURE----------------------------
2 lg Eggs
1 c Buttermilk
MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1/3 c Unsalted Toasted Peanuts
1/4 c Fruit jelly
Preheat oven to 400F and prepare 12 muffin cups. Sift first 4
ingredients of dry mixture together. With a pastry blender cut peanut
butter and butter into dry mixture until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. In a medium bowl beat eggs lightly and stir in buttermilk.
Add egg milk-mixture to coarse crumbs mixture and stir just until
ingredients are blended. Fill 12 prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake
20-25 minutes in preheated oven. While muffins are cooking melt the
jelly and finely chop the peanuts. As soon as muffins are removed
from the oven brush the tops with melted jelly and dip the tops into
the chopped peanuts.
HINT: We suggest using the jelly that is your family's sandwich
favorite. These muffins make a great hit at children's parties.
