Peabody Hotel's Vanilla Muffins Recipe

I was looking for an easy muffin recipe without a lot of unusual ingredients that I do not have on hand. I wanted to freeze some for the kids' lunches. So in my laziness, I started pulling out old cookbooks and perusing rather than wrestle the computer away from the kids. I came across this one and decided to give it a shot since I had all the ingredients.

It was surprisingly good and a big hit with the picky eaters who kept coming in the kitchen and taking "just one more." The muffins are moist with a nice shiny crunchy crust. I will definitely be making these again. I filled up six mini muffin pans with a little left over. If you make mini muffins, shorten the cooking time.
