Honey muffins for your sweetheart!These honey muffins are based on a honey cake recipe from "The Best of Shaker Cooking". Those Shakers knew what they were doing. I added whole wheat flour and natural sugar to the mix to make them that much better. Ingredients * 1 cup honey * 1/2 cup sweet butter * 1 egg * 1/2 cup natural sugar * 1 cup unbleached flour * 1 cup whole wheat flour * 1/2 tsp ginger * 1/2 tsp nutmeg * 1/2 tsp baking soda * 2 Tbsp water
Add honey to a bowl, then melt butter and mix. Next add the egg & mix. Separately mix the dry ingredients together then add to the wet and mix. Add warm water to baking soda and add to mixture. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups and bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven.

So let's take our hats off to the Shakers from North Union Shaker Village in Ohio near Cleveland. It was their beehouses that inspired all this goodness in the first place!
