Pattycakes in the Kitchen

This is a collection of my recipes. Many are quite old, and have been handed down through generations of my very Southern family. There are others that I have collected over decades of cooking. The purpose of this blog is to preserve and pass them on to the younger generations of my family, and to share with old and new friends. You are welcome and appreciated here.

Strawberry Gems

In the early eighties, we lived in Rock Hill, South Carolina. A coupe of friends of mine had a lovely restaurant, and served delicious food. They made these awesome little muffins, which went perfectly with their great salads.

Ingredients:
1 C self-rising flour
3/4 C sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 C milk
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/2 C sliced strawberries
Topping:
1/4 C sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients, except strawberries until thoroughly incorporated. Fold in berries. Fill paper lined muffin tins 2/3 full. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over top of muffins. Bake at 375* for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
Note: Blueberries may be substituted for strawberries.
