SUCCESS! It's amazing what reading and following a recipe will do. :) This time I read the recipe carefully, set out all of my ingredients and followed everything. They are awesome! The muffins are moist, with a little hint of the beer, and a nice crunch from the cinnamon sugar on top.
I did have to switch out beer though. When I went back to the store for the Pumking, it was all sold out. I'm not surprised, it's a very good beer. Luckily for me I had a backup plan and went with Dogfishead Punkin Ale. This beer is a full bodied brown ale that is brewed with actual pumpkin meat, along with wonderful spices and organic brown sugar. While it doesn't have the same pumpkin bread type flavor that Pumking brought to the table, the spice and the fact that it tastes like pumpkin were a real asset.
So try number 2 is a rousing success and now the recipe for all of you to try. I took the Pioneer Woman's pumpkin spice muffin recipe and substituted the condensed milk with the beer. I used the same amount both times that I tried the recipe. And while I know I talked about football food with beer, it's gotten a little chilly outside and I think I need to make Guinness shepherd's pie. Sounds good right? Well you will have to wait for the recipe until next time. As promised here is the link for the pumpkin muffin recipe - http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/10/moist-pumpkin-spice-muffins-with-cream-cheese-frosting/
