Irish Coffee Muffins

Yield:
12 muffins

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups all purpose flour
  2. 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  5. 1 Tablespoon instant coffee granules
  6. 2 Tablespoons coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
  7. 2 Tablespoons Irish whiskey
  8. Milk
  9. 1 egg, beaten
  10. 1/2 cup (8 Tablespoons) melted butter or margarine
  11. 24 teaspoons turbinado sugar (raw sugar)
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Spray 12 count muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center.

In a 1 cup measure, dissolve coffee granules in coffee liqueur and whiskey. Add enough milk to measure 1 cup. Add beaten egg and melted butter to coffee-milk mixture. Whisk to blend.

Gently stir liquid into dry ingredients just until moistened; batter will be lumpy. Spoon a little less than 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle 2 tsps turbinado sugar over each batter filled cup.

Bake 18 minutes, or until the top springs back when gently touched. Let rest a couple of minutes before removing muffins from tin and cooling on a baking rack.
