Irish Eyes are smiling. Guinness, invented back in the 1700s by Arthur Guinness, is a dark, thick, stout beer. Some people love a pint of Guinness. I'm not one of those people. I'm not really a beer drinker in general. This recipe is for those friends of mine, Irish or not, who enjoy a nice pint of beer. These muffins have a distinctive taste. Trust me, if you don't like Guinness you will probably not like these muffins.
Ingredients: 2 c flour, 1 c rye flour, 1 tsp caraway seeds, .5 tsp baking soda, .5 tsp sea salt, .25 c dark brown sugar (packed), .25 c butter (melted)*, 12oz Guinness or another dark beer*
Instructions: (1) Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a 12-c or 6-c muffin pan with cooking spray or liners. (2) Whisk flour, rye, caraway seeds, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. (3) In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar and butter until blended. (3) Add brown sugar mixture and Guinness to flour mixture and stir until just blended. (4) Divide batter amongst the prepared muffin cups and bake until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean, about 26 minutes. Let cool in pan for a few minutes and serve warm or let cool completely on a wire rack.
*To reduce the risk of having a thick head when poured, chill the bottle or can of beer well.
