Snow Muffins

Kids absolutely love to help

muffins that use REAL snow
as an ingredient!

Talk about winter cooking fun!

Safety Warning: Adult supervision is required.






What You Will Need:

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Sugar (white or brown)
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon grated Lemon or Orange
• 1/2 cup Fresh Fluffly Snow (clean snow!)
• 1/2 cup Raisins or Chocolate Chips, optional (we like to add vanilla chips to our muffins)
• Mixing Bowl
• Mixing Spoon
• Muffin Tin

What You Do:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and sugar.
• Pour in milk, butter and grated lemon and stir slightly.
• Add raisins and snow to batter mixture and stir only until the dry ingredients are moistened.
• Spoon batter into 12 lined muffin cups, filling two-thirds full.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove muffins from oven and serve warm.

Variations:

• If you would like, drizzle icing on top of the slightly cooled muffins before serving. The icing looks like melted snow! (To make the icing, mix 1/2 cup of Confectioners' Sugar with enough water to make a smooth, creamy icing. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla for extra flavor.)
• Instead of icing, sprinkle muffins with a light dusting of Confectioners' Sugar for a wintery look.

Tips:

• Make sure to use fresh, light and fluffy snow for best results.
