I’ve been working on new additions to my menu. Lately I have been obsessed with creating the perfect, moist muffins. These are filled with pears, candied ginger, and have roasted walnuts that you crunch into every bite. By using oil and heavy cream in the batter, this adds wonderful flavor and a moist soft texture. The pearlized sugar topping is imported from Sweden. Baking at a high oven temperature is what gives these muffins their high peaks.
