Butterscotch pudding gives a distinctive flavor to these muffins topped with brown sugar and nuts. 'My son made them for a 4-H competition and they won first-place purple ribbons,' writes Jill Hazelton of Hamlet, Indiana.
This adult interpretation switches all of the sugar to brown sugar and cooks the mashed bananas with butter and cognac or dark rum. And it's topped with a slightly boozy glaze.
Similar to banana bread, this moist cake is enriched with creamy buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, and rum. Apple juice can be substituted for the rum, and pecans for the walnuts.
Easy to prepare, but oh so elegant...these tempting appetizers feature asparagus spears individually wrapped with prosciutto, garlic & herb cheese and flaky puff pastry.
