New Orleans Black Muffins Recipe

In a medium-size bowl combine the hot water and molasses, stirring until well blended.

Stir in the milk until blended.

In a large bowl sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

With a rubber spatula, fold the liquid mixture and the pecans into the dry ingredients just until flour is thoroughly incorporated; do not over mix.

Spoon into 12 greased muffin cups.

Bake at 300F until done, 45 minutes to about 1 hour.

Remove from pan immediately and serve while hot.
