Sweet French Morning Muffins

When Richard and I first got married he had a collection of recipes that one of his teachers gave him, they were a collection of home economic recipes. I have made these recipes many times over the years; I have even featured a few here on my blog. This particular recipe I have misplaced over the years, but thanks to the internet my family and I can now enjoy them again. I found this recipe on many different sites on the web. And now thanks to the many people who post on the web not only my family but also yours can enjoy these muffins in the morning with a nice hot cup of coffee.
