Mango sour cream muffins
Cupcakes and muffins
During medical school, I lived on the east side of Cleveland, and when my parents would come to visit they'd often treat me to breakfast at an old-timey diner called Inn on Coventry. Their pancake menu was extensive - chocolate & peanut butter, lemon ricotta, pumpkin spice, and zucchini to name a few - and my favorite was a fluffy sour cream and mango version. Here I've transferred the flavors to a muffin base. I am admittedly partial to sour cream in my baked goods, since our Christmas breakfast was always my Grammy's sour cream coffee cake. Use a high quality sour cream in this recipe - now that we live near Cleveland's West Side Market we are lucky enough to get ours fresh from a lovely dairy stand (hi, Irene Denver!) I've taken a cue from the great Julia Child with the addition of mace (it shows up in her classic pound cake recipe, which is the one I use whenever baking). Enjoy!
