Peach-Brown Sugar Muffins 

2 cups flour

4 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 cup chopped peaches (fresh or canned)

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon allspice

1 cup sour cream

1 egg

4 tablespoon melted butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 12 regular-size muffin-tin cups.

In large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and baking powder. Add peaches, baking soda and allspice. Toss to coat peaches thoroughly.

In another bowl, combine sour cream, egg and butter. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until moist but lumpy.

Spoon into muffin cups. Bake for 25 minutes, or until top springs back when gently touched.

Makes 1 dozen.
