Hooyah! Lemonade Muffins!!!

[Leslie]

I got hungry this morning...and since it seems I've recently developed a heinous chocolate allergy...my stand by "know it by heart" recipies wouldn't cut it.

So I pulled out my old Muffin Mania Cookbook,

http://www.cook-book.com/images_itom/muffin_mania.jpg

and Lo and Behold...

TaDUM!!!!

Lemonade Muffins

11/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
21/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 beaten egg
1-6oz can frozen lemonade, thawed (I used pink)
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Mix dry ingredients.
Combine egg, 1/2 cup lemonade, milk and oil.
Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Gently stir in nuts.
Fill greased muffin cups and bake at 375 for 15-20 min. or until done.
While hot, brush with remaining lemonade and sprinkle with white sugar.

mmmmmmmmmm :licklips:

*wonders how you would substitute the frozen concentrate for the real thing.

[kuulani]

*wishes I had my very own oven to bake in*

[Leslie]

*wonders how you would substitute the frozen concentrate for the real thing.
um...
I can't do the math...

but you put quadruple the water as to concentrate...
so could you maybe quarter the water for the real thing?

recipe math makes me feel stoopid :tardbang:

[Leslie]

maybe if you talk about them enough ku'u someone will volunteer to bake 'em ? :D

[Inkara1]

I should ask: do you use one can of concentrate and then fill the can up with water four times for this recipe, like you do for drinking lemonade?

Also, if it's possible to use the liquid instead of the concentrate... is it possible to substitute Mike's Hard Lemonade? Then you'd have the good kind of muffins to go with the good kind of brownies, if you get my drift. :D

All the Alcohol would burn off during the baking process though .

*wonders how you would substitute the frozen concentrate for the real thing.

If you use the actual concentrate in the recipe then i wouldn't think pre mixed stuff would work...

[Ms Ann Thrope]

wouldn't actual lemon juice from lemons work? :confused:

[Leslie]

but then they wouldn't be lemonade muffins now would they?

[tonksy]

If you use the actual concentrate in the recipe then i wouldn't think pre mixed stuff would work...
but can anyone guess what is in frozen lemonade concentrate besides lemons?

[Leslie]

I just know that for the money...I can get a crapload more from 50 cents with the canned stuff than with fresh. Sad but true.

[Ms Ann Thrope]

but then they wouldn't be lemonade muffins now would they?

sorry... guess I'm being stoopid, but when I make lemonade I use water, granulated sugar, and the juice of fresh squeezed lemons.... isn't that what you would put in the recipe? :confused:

[A.B.Normal]

If you cut back on the water you may be able to use fresh ,but I'm assuming the Frozen Lemonade is "concentrated" and therefore has more bam to it.

[Nixy]

but can anyone guess what is in frozen lemonade concentrate besides lemons?

Prolly a whole lot of crapola...but it's the extra water that would be in already mixed juice over the concentrated stuff that would make the big difference me thinks.

:yep:

*trying desperately to get smilies to do something when I click on them ,this trying to remember what the code is isn't working too well*

[tonksy]

so basically, if wanted to make this recipe i would have to reduce sweetened lemonade...but my quandry is this...if i heat the lemon juice and then cool it and then add it to the muffin mix will i have compromised the recipe? cuz changing the temperature of many ingredients can effect the outcome of a recipe.

Tonks, you're talking about $5 in lemons to do what you're suggestion, relative to a fifty cent can of frozen lemonade. Unless you've a lemon tree in the front yard.

prof - it's not a question of money as it is a question of purity.

[Professur]

Are you suggestion that lemonade from concentrate is anything less than 100% pure lemonade from concentrate?
