Whipping Cream Magic Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease muffin tin.

First bowl (dry ingredients):

5 oz Flour
5 oz Farina (cream of wheat, malt-o-meal, or similar)
1 Tbsp Baking powder

Whisk together.

Second bowl (wet ingredients):

1⁄2 cup Sugar
1 egg
1 cup Whipping cream (not whipped)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla

Beat together. Add dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Dish into muffin tin.

Bake until done (about 20 minutes).

I watch and smell rather than time, usually. Mine turned a dark brown and started to smell right. Most recipes suggest around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This is a quick bread, so barely mixing the batter is the rule, but mine came out very tender despite some over-mixing.

My brother had given me some farina that didn't make it through the sieve after milling it for his excellent pizza. I've loved Malt-o-Meal Magic Muffins since I was a kid, but we were out of milk, so I improvised, substituting heavy cream for milk and oil.
