I love muffins, they are such a delight to make. So many different flavor combinations, quick cooking, and no mixer needed.
I cut this recipe in half and got eight muffins in my batch. I swear I do not know how Dorie only gets one dozen out of the full mixture. I always get at least 18 from a full batch. I even bought new muffin tins a few months ago to ensure I had the proper normal sized ones.
I think the thing that took the longest today was allowing the melted butter to cool. Funny, I was just looking at a biscuit recipe yesterday, it said to mix melted butter into buttermilk before adding it to the dry ingredients. Apparently the cold buttermilk solidifies some of the melted butter. This acts a bit like the cutting of cold butter into flour does, the larger pieces melt slower than the smaller ones giving you a lighter finished product. I haven't made them yet, but they seem a lot like Dorie's cream biscuits (one of my favorite-ultra easy recipes).
At any rate, my biscuits were made with molasses instead of maple syrup. Because I could not find my maple syrup and I wasn't going to go and buy a new bottle. I know I have one somewhere. Plus, I don't care much for maple and I adore molasses, so win-win for me.
