One of my favorite things to do on those cold dark autumn and winter days is bake. It never gets old. My boys love eating. I love tossing flour and sugar and butter around. There is something magical about a 9 foot marble island in the kitchen that lends to gathering around her and creating baked goods while sharing conversation with wonderful friends. I plan to do a lot more of that this cold and dark season~
Pumpkin muffins from Blackberry Farm
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
2 eggs
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and mix well. Add buttermilk and mix. Add pumpkin and mix completely. In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients. Don’t over mix. Bake at 375 degrees F for 14-17 minutes. Easy peasy and oh so good. By the way, if you add chocolate chips to these muffins, they will disappear very quickly…

Thank you very much for the recipe. Jean
Gorgeously beautiful! What an amazing color they are! And yum–I am going to make them today! I will need to sub another kind of squash thing for the pumpkin–but thankfully my Mom brought pumpkin-pie spice on her last visit and I can use creme-fresh for the buttermilk–or maybe yogurt?
NINE foot marble island?!?! Total ENVY! Come try my 22 x 12 I-N-C-H ‘island’ sometime girlfriend! Your island is larger than my etire kitchen! C’est vrai!
Big bisous! Cat
