Corn Muffin Turkeys

Lay out the decorating ingredients on a cutting board, and provide small knives for everyone to work with if you have a group.
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time15 minutes mins
decorating time, appx20 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Course: Bread
Servings: 8
Author: Rosemary Mark

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg 8.5oz cornbread mix
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • fresh or dried apples
  • dried apricots, prunes, raisins, currants
  • peanut butter for ‘glue’
  • toothpicks for attaching fruit

Instructions

  • Prepare cornbread batter as package directs.
    Stir 1/4 cup raisins into batter. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
    Bake muffins according to package directions. Cool.
    * Or add raisins to your favorite cornbread recipe.

To decorate:

  • Make two slits in the muffin, one slightly larger for the feathers. For tail feathers, cut strips of apricots and prunes. Pinch ends together. Insert into the larger slit and arrange fan-like, using toothpicks if needed for support. Use a dab of peanut butter to stick a raisin or currant to a fresh or dried apple. Don’t forget to add a thin slice of apricot to the neck for the ‘wattler’!

The cake is probably the most perfectly written cake recipe I’ve ever read — thanks to dear Flo Braker who is greatly missed in our baking world, though her cookbooks live on. Her Buttermilk Cake and Classic White Cakes are in her book The Art of Perfect Baking which you can find on-line or in libraries. I think Flo wouldn’t mind me sharing her recipe. She was a most generous baking friend.
