Because it was requested. Here's the recipe for the Gingerbread muffins that got my dumb kitty stoned. Technically an original recipe since the one I found was missing a few key ingredients (like sugar) for good gingerbread. (So for the patent/law geeks on my F-list, I'm not violating any copyright stuff....)
Stoned Kitty Muffins*
1/4 Cup butter, room temp
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup molasses
1 egg
1 1/3 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon (lightly rounded)
1 tsp ground ginger (decidedly rounded)
1/2 tsp ground cloves (exact measurement)
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup golden raisins (or mom's home-made raisins if you're not out like I was yesterday)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately w/ hot water until well blended. Fold in raisins. Divide into greased and floured muffin tins (or paper lined). Bake for 15 minutes (a little less if your oven is on the hot side, mine runs a bit low). Barely makes 18 muffins.
*Only gets really dumb kitty stoned. Had no effect on the smart kitties in my house.
