Pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut up
¼ cup (1 ounce) pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
Muffins:
½ cup granulated sugar

1½ cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Special Equipment
2½-inch muffin cups; sifter; wooden skewer or cake tester

Steps:

  • Pan preparation:
  • Coat the muffin cups with nonstick vegetable spray (then wipe the top of the pan with a paper towel) or coat with solid shortening.
  • Muffins:
  • Position rack in center of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
