Fig Muffins

In Memory of Louella Landry Kaplan LA

Cajun love making fig preserves – Great with bread, corn bread, or over cream cheese as an appetizer. Another sweet use for fig preserves is to make fig preserve muffins – so good

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup fig preserves (mash with a fork)

Directions

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar

Step 2

Add eggs and vanilla

Step 3

Add flour, 1 cup at a time with baking soda

Step 4

Mash figs with a fork and add to batter.

Step 5

Bake at 350 in greased muffin pans for 25-30 mins. or until brown.

Step 6

Makes 2 dozen. Cooks note - I sometimes make 1/2 of a recipe. I half the ingredients and use 2 eggs instead of three. They also freeze well if you have leftovers.
