Cinnamon Ripple Muffins

Cinnamon Ripple:
1/2 C packed brown sugar
1/4 C flour
4 T butter cut in small pieces
2 tsp cinnamon

Combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Butter will still be lumpy but that is perfect anyways. Set aside and heat oven to 400.

Muffin Batter:
2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C softened butter
1/2 C sugar
2 eggs
1/2 buttermilk*
1 tsp vanilla

In medium bowl whisk flour, powder, soda, and salt. In larger bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients until just blended then gently FOLD in the ripple.
Divide in greased muffin tray and bake at 400 for 12-13 minutes.

We had ours this morning with hot apple cider. Yum.

*buttermilk substitute: 1 T of lemon juice for every 1 C of milk (so you would need a 1/2 T of lemon juice to add to your milk for this)
