Maple Syrup Pancake Muffins

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

1. In a small saucepan, melt button over medium heat watching it carefully until it starts to brown.  Remove from heat. 

2. In a medium bowl combine milk, eggs, maple syrum and vanilla.  Stir until well encorporated.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 

4. Add milk mixture and butter to the dry ingredients and stir until combined, don't over-stir.

5. Spoon batter into oiled muffin tin.

6. Bake until wooden pick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes (they should be a golden colour).

7. Prepare the glaze while the muffins are baking.

8. Combine maple syrup and lemon juice and cook over low heat until the mixture begins to thicken—about 15 minutes.

9. Double-dip each muffin into the glaze - do the batch once and then again for even coating. For an extra moist muffin try poking holes in the muffins before you dip them.  The glaze will seep into the muffin as it continues to cool.
