BWJ - Buttermilk Crumb Muffins
It's Melbourne Cup Day here in Melbourne, so Melburnians have a public holiday for a horse race. Pretty cool, yeah? I am not going to the races this year, but it is obligatory to watch the Cup on the telly - the big race is at 3pm EST. Apart from The Cup itself, the fun of the races is watching everyone all dressed up - the best time to do this is first thing in the morning, before everything falls into tatters, like Cinderella after the ball.
This Tuesday is also a Baking with Julia Tuesday, and this week's recipe was Buttermilk Crumb Muffins, hosted by Alisa of Easier Than Pie. As I am not at work today to share, I only made a quarter recipe of these muffins, yielding just four. I don't use shortening in general, so I substituted the same quantity of butter, and didn't seem to have any issues.
These muffins were easy to make, and delicious while warm - making them perfect in my book.
You can check what the other BWJ bakers thought of these muffins at the website.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday.
My muffins were less than successful, so I have a lot of muffin envy going on this week...
Lovely! I made half the recipe, and still had a lot of muffins, so you were smart to make 1/4. It sounds like you had a nice day off of work.
I wish we had a public holiday :-) These muffins look lovely, and 4 muffins is a lovely amount to have if you're just backing for yourself or a few people.
Your muffin is perfect--I had a disaster, but it did taste good. Take a look at my Grand Canyon Cakes!
lovely to have a day off but it still flies by - your cakes look delish

I loved these. So easy, so good.
Sounds like a great holiday. Awesome looking muffins!
Those look stunning...lovely. I don't use shortening either and also sub butter but I never know if that works straight up or if I need to add more or less or whatever. Pretty much any time I bake it's a crap shoot...so it was fun to hear that you sub that way also...an accomplice in crime! :-)
Sounds like a winner all round-easy and delicious! :D How did you go with your horses?
Your muffins look perfect. What a fun thing to have a day off for a horse race. We don't even get a day off for a Presidential race.
Nice looking muffins! Holiday for horses - crazy! :)
Those are some great muffins! Did you bet on any horses?
