Not only do I not wait well, I don't sit and wait well. So, while we are having insulation put in our attic this morning and I am housebound, I am creating things to do. My sweet sister in law, Neta, is coming in town tomorrow to stay with Grayson Sunday night while we are at the hospital. In order to help make her life easier, I am doing a bit of baking so they will have muffins around for breakfast. I thought I would share this recipe with you.
Ms. Margaret, our neighbor across the street growing up and now one of my many "second" mothers, use to make these all of the time. They are great for breakfast or for an after school snack. When my brothers were teenagers, mom used to double the recipe! I hope you enjoy these as much as our family has over the years.
