Rhubarb Muffins
- Butter and flour for the muffin tins
- 2 cups unbleached white flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup (5 1/2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb (do not use extra)
- Topping:
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- Thoroughly butter and flour muffin tins.
- Combine dry ingredients in a food processor or mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture feels like cornmeal.
- Combine remaining ingredients, except the topping, in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones, beating just to mix - do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and sprinkle the top of each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake the muffins for 18 minutes at 375 degrees, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove to cool.
