Sour Cream Pecan Muffins

I offered to bake muffins for Justin to take to work tomorrow and he accepted. I decided to bake sour cream pecan muffins from the Mimi's Cafe cookbook. Mimi's Cafe was a restaurant in my hometown that has gone out of business. These muffins were served with the chicken salad plate.


Sour Cream Pecan Muffins
1 c. self-rising flour
1 stick soft butter
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Icing:
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. milk

Mix all muffin ingredients until blended. Do not over mix. Bake in sprayed muffin pan for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Icing: Mix all ingredients with a whisk or spoon. If too thick, add more milk. Pour over muffins while hot.

The batter was pretty thick, but I'm assuming it's supposed to be because the muffins turned out fine. I cooked the muffins for 20 minutes, but they probably could have been cooked a few more minutes. I had to add more milk to my icing. I also ended up with clumps of sugar, so I need to mix it better next time.

I ate one of these and they are delicious. They might not be as good as I remember Mimi's Cafe muffins, but mine were definitely good. Annabelle enjoyed tasting the batter and the icing. Pete wasn't really interested.
