Chamomile and Honey Sourdough Discard Muffins

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 Muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • Dried chamomile flowers or chamomile tea bags
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Sourdough discard
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 and grease or line your muffin tins.
  • Add the butter, milk, and honey to a small saucepan and heat over med low heat, stir until the butter has melted and the milk is just starting to steam.
  • Remove the milk mixture from the stove and add the chamomile to it. Cover with a lid and let steep for 5 minutes.
  • While the chamomile is steeping, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt).
  • In a separate bowl combine the sourdough starter and eggs
  • When the milk mixture has cooled and is no longer hot, remove the chamomile, and then add the milk mixture to your other wet ingredients.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry very gently. Mix until just combined - overmixing will create dense muffins.
  • Add about 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin cup.
  • Bake at 425 for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and continue baking for another 10-13 minutes.
  • Muffins are done when they are lightly golden brown on the top and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, and let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy warm with some butter or jam.
