In Minnesota it's important that we get outside and enjoy the weather since, in no time at all, summer will be over and the snow will begin to fall. Once that happens, many of the fun things we've been able to do will be eliminated. These activities have already been restricted because of the pandemic. So, get outside friends! Consider going on a picnic - and taking along some Lemon Chive Pepper Muffins. They go with so many other things. Options could be a chilled soup or chicken salad.
LEMON CHIVE PEPPER MUFFINS Makes 10.
* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 3 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2-1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1/3 cup oil
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease bottoms only of 10 muffin cups or line with paper baking cups. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, pepper, salt, lemon peel and chives; mix well. Add milk, oil and egg; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
Bake at 400ºF for 15 - 20 minutes or until light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 minute; remove from muffin pan.
