The muffins are a favorite of my wife’s, an alumna of the Hockaday School. The biggest problem of the recipe as given here is that 20 minutes is way too long for baking small muffins in a 500° oven. Try 10 minutes, or 12 tops. <div><br /></div><div>Bakers may want to use paper muffin cups to avoid the muffins’ sticking to the pan.</div>
