Vintage Recipe Thursday is meant to preserve your own original vintage family recipes, or out-of-print, copyright-free recipes from old cookbooks, magazines, newspapers. You're invited! Get the details by clicking to the Vintage Recipe Thursday Homepage. I post recipes from the Household Searchlight Recipe Book, first published in 1931. My 16th printing is from 1943. What will you post?*************************
Did you realize muffins were a type of bread? They are!*
Perhaps you don't have much experience with yeast breads, but most foodies make muffins or even quick breads, so don't be shy about participating in the 2nd annual bread roundup coming up right around the corner Nov. 1-15. I'm encouraging all my followers, readers, and Vintage Recipe Thursday participants to join in this bread recipe sharing.
These ginger cheese muffins are from a prize-winning recipe from my Household Searchlight Recipe Book. I know you'll enjoy them!
Ginger Cheese Muffins
(Prize-winning recipe)
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup molasses
4 tablespoons melted shortening*
3/4 cup grated cheese
Sift flour, measure, and sift with salt, ginger, baking soda, and baking powder. Combine egg, milk, and molasses. Add to dry ingredients, stirring constantly. Beat only until smooth. Add shortening, and fold in grated cheese. Fill well-oiled muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake in hot oven (425 F) 10-15 minutes. 16 servings. Mrs. Bernice Owens, Venue, Pa.
*Joy's notes: I don't like to use too much shortening, so I always substitute half the amount of shortening with apple sauce. And yes, muffins are an individual version of a quick bread. Quick breads do often seem more like cake than bread, because most of us think of "bread" as only yeast bread. It's more obvious when we speak of corn muffins, which most people do use to replace the dinner roll or biscuit. You'll notice that muffins are almost always in the bread section of cookbooks too, especially in vintage cookbooks which took fewer liberties with their classifications.
Thank you for participating in Vintage Recipe Thursday, and I look forward to visiting your blogs and reading your vintage recipe finds.
