CHRISTIANA CAMPBELL'S TAVERN'S SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



Christiana Campbell's Tavern's Sweet Potato Muffins image

Christiana Campbell's serves these wonderful little muffins with every meal. At one time, they handed out this recipe on little cards (that's where i got mine). A reviewer reminded me: these are butt ugly. In Williamsburg, perfect little bite-sized muffins are served, all nice and puffy. When I made them, and the reviewer also, they were NOT puffy. They taste really good, but for some peculiar reason, they fall after coming out of the oven. If anyone makes them, and can figure this mystery out, please share. I have no clue why they come out different at home than they do in Williamsburg.

Tips:

  • Use ripe sweet potatoes: This will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful. You can tell if a sweet potato is ripe by its skin. It should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use muffin liners or grease the muffin tins: This will help to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes: This will help them to rise. Then, reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sweet potato muffins every time.
