How To Make ragamuffins

• Step 1
  Melt the butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl.
• Step 2
  While the butter is melting, in another mixing bowl, sift together with a whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and herbs, if desired, until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
• Step 3
  Add milk and egg to the melted butter. Whisk together slightly until blended. Stir bread crumbs into the milk mixture. Set aside to soak a few minutes.
• Step 4
  Fold the dry ingredients into the milk and crumb mixture, stirring just until all is moistened and combined.
• Step 5
  Fill muffin cups, that have been prepared with food release spray, about 2/3 full. Bake 25 minutes at 375*.
• Step 6
  NOTES: Use whatever herbs you like, or none at all. I've even crunched up French Fried Onions in them :) Keep bread heels in a bag in the freezer, for a quick whirl in the food processor -- any combination will do! Or just defrost slightly and cube them. Use about three heels for 2 c. of cubes. I like to keep dry stuffing mix on hand. When I'm in a hurry I sub 2 c. of the croutons for the bread crumbs -- and they're already seasoned :) Why not try them using leftover dressing or stuffing? Don't forget to adjust the amount of milk and butter. So wonderful with a bowl of soup! I use my DeMarle muffin trays, for super easy release. If you don't have one -- I highly recommend it! *This recipe is easily made gluten free by using GF bread crumbs or cubes, and GF all purpose baking flour.
