This recipe came from Pam, but originally was created by Dorothy Ross of Ear Falls, ON. A really nice moist muffin that combines the tang of rhubarb and the sweetness of blueberries. I changed the original recipe which contains sour cream, (I didn’t have any) to slightly over 1/2 cup of milk soured with lemon juice.

These buns were a favourite when my kids were little and then the recipe was lost. I recently found it in an old cookbook.

• 1 pkg yeast
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp soft shortening or margarine

Directions

1. Measure warm water into large warm bowl, and sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Stir in sugar, half the flour & salt, beat until smooth. Add egg and margarine. Beat in rest of flour until smooth. Scrape down sides of bowl, cover and let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 30 min. Stir down dough. Spoon into 12 large muffin cups which have been greased, fill 1/2 full. Let rise again until dough reaches top of muffin tin, 20 to 30 min. Bake at 400 degrees about 15 min.
