Partridgeberry Muffins


Yum! One of my favorite berries is the Partridgeberry -- otherwise know as Lingonberry, Cowberry or Lowbush Cranberry. Whatever the name, I find this tarty berry delicious :-)

They are usually ripe around the third week in September, and are so easy to pick! My daughter picked a gallon in about 1/2 hour. I freeze the berries and we use them throughout the year in jams, pies, smoothies and muffins.



PARTRIDGEBERRY MUFFINS

Dry ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar

Wet ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup of berries (more or less as desired)

Preheat oven to 350 deg.
Blend the dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine them quickly. Don't over-stir.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from tin and sprinkle with sugar.


Here are some of the muffins we made this morning for snack.
