Makes 12 muffins

These are fragrant and not overly sweet, with crispy edges and a tasty streusel topping. This easy recipe comes from a church cookbook published by the Church of Reconciliation (Episcopal) in San Antonio in the early 70s.

    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1/4 cup sugar

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Butter and flour a standard 12-cup muffin tin (or line the cups with paper liners and spray them with baking spray).
