I used Recipe#55564 (which, since discovery, I always keep made and ready in a canister) for the biscuit mix. I made a half recipe which gave me 6 lovely full sized muffins for Sunday morning brekkie. I used a bit of dried blood orange peel, fat free milk and Splenda. My other concession to better health was to skip the butter dipping step and just sprinkle the tops with a bit of cinnamon and a light sprinkle of sugar (less than a tsp for all 6 muffins) before baking. They have a marvelous texture and are incredible with Recipe #189729!

I loved meeting so many wonderful people from across the globe in what were truly amazing forums and during events on the site which encouraged interaction. I miss those forums and am saddened that this is now just another recipe collection site. I will always come back here as I have so many recipes saved of my own and tried many gems. I hope you are able to find something you like.</p>
