Perfect Muffin Tops

"Many times my "muffins" end up being like fluffy moist scones."

Yeah, it's true, even if muffins come out not the way they are supposed to, they are delish--heavy, light, big holes, dense crumb, tough or tender--what could not be good about eggy buttery and not too sweet?

But i am curious to try CanadianBakins' recipe--thanks for posting it.

And Ruthie--By Jove, you've got it! Those muffins are gorgeous!

Does anyone have the recipe for muffins from Anna Thomas' Vegetarian Epicure--I think from II--that was my basic muffin recipe for years, then the book fell apart and i didn't replace it--I had it written down but I cleaned out old recipes when i got a new recipe file and i must have put that recipe in the wrong pile and ditched it.

It's a whole wheat and molasses recipe--But the great thing about it is that i've altered it in a zillion ways and it still comes out good--it makes very solid, heavy, little muffins--the kind you can throw at your kid to make them stop acting up and it won't fall apart!
