We have had a sudden heat wave and so I have been looking for a way to keep cooking without heating up the house.
Cinnamon Topped Rhubarb Muffins
These muffins are the best. I found this recipe at Sweet Locus Lane Farm.
Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. flour                            1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. brown sugar            1 egg
1 tsp. salt                                   1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking powder            2/3 c. oil
2 c. finely chopped rhubarb
Topping:
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbl. melted butter
2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix all ingredients well except rhubarb and topping, add rhubarb and mix. Put in greased muffin tins. Don’t load up the batter in the tins, they cook better as smaller muffins. Add the topping. Bake at 375 for 16-18m.
Muffins ready to bake.
This is my grill with the lid open. The oven thermometer is at the left, telling me what temperature the grill is at. I can get the temperature around 350 and just above by turning the outside burners to low. I have a thermometer on the grill, but it is off by about 100 degrees and I am not sure if it is consistantly off.
Ready to start cooking.
I checked at 10 minutes to see if I needed to rotate the muffins, but everything looked good.
Still looking good.
I did have a few muffins that charred a little on the outside. But other than that baking on the grill worked well.
