Instructions
I’m beyond ready to get started!
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and black pepper into a medium bowl and set aside.
...well, that’s an interesting mix.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer beat the oil and sugar together for about a minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating at high speed for each, until the mixture is very light.
Stir in the honey, vanilla and milk.
The honey and vanilla are really nice together - it’ll be interesting to see how they work with the black pepper.
Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
Pour the batter evenly into each liner, filling them all the way to the top. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes. It’s ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Sitting down to these sweet and slightly peppery muffins, the antsy-ness calmed down, relief and sweetness fill the air.
