Brown Sugar Muffins

I got this recipe as a gift from Laurie, a friend I met in my education classes at BYU. Being deaf, she let me practice my sign language, even though she could read lips. She also taught me many great home-making skills. Especially loved that she let me babysit her girls! Kurt and I ate many of these on our way to class and in between.

1 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 tsp. baking soda dissolved in

1 cup milk

2 c. flour

Cream sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs. Beat until fluffy. Add milk and flour alternately. Butter pans. Bake 400 deg. for 15 minutes.
