Molasses Muffins

This is a new recipe I picked up from a Lincoln Heritage Trail Cook Book on own Land of Lincoln adventure this week and since it is Sunday am sharing it.  The book has some great old recipes in it that I’ll be making and sharing with you.  The picture is Sawyer standing in front of Lincoln’s Springfield home where he lived before he moved to Washington DC to be President.   We toured the home and it had a very tiny kitchen.

According to the cook book, Lincoln these muffins were one of his favorite foods.
