I stopped by the local orchard last week and picked up a peck of peaches. Lovely, fragrant, juicy peaches, unlike the hard flavorless variety at the local grocers. Friday we had peaches and ice cream and Saturday I made two pies for the freezer, a raspberry peach tart (sorry-no pictures, I took it to a friend's party and of course was running late) and sliced and sugared a couple of quarts for the freezer. That only left 4 or 5 peaches so I started looking for a muffin or bread recipe. Monday our local magazine from the electrical co-op came and featured peaches, including a muffin recipe. Last night I used it to bake these muffins. I'm not going to include the recipe, because I think there's a misprint. I had to add an extra egg, and double the milk. Also it called for a full tablespoon of baking powder! It seemed like a lot, but I used it anyway. They raised just as they're supposed to but I swear I can taste the baking powder. I can't decide if I like them or not- but I did eat three trying to make up my mind!
