Walter Hailey Made His 1st Million Handing Out Muffin Recipes

[Glenn]

Hi,

Thanks for the ideas, Gordon.

You got me thinking about ways to "Niche" a Series of HOT SHEET Muffin Recipes.

We always had a couple big gardens when I was growing up.

I'd often cut up a small amount of a garden vegetable.

Stick that into the Muffin Recipe - of the day.

Smushed corn kernals - yellow on brown flour - looked nice.

Spinach and broccoli bits were my FAVORITE - cuz they looked so GREEN in amongst the raisins and nuts.

Moisture is the secret.

You gotta SQUEEZE the water out of any veggies you add to muffins.

Thanks for the Hot Sheet idea,
Glenn Osborn

P.S. - I wrote up a 32 page booklet on how I use Muffin Recipes to make friends and sales on and off-line.

Stuck it on Ebay just for fun...

Good cheap place to test new ideas for 10 cents or so.

Green Spinach Bits MUFFINS - Banana/Raisin Optional

Directions -

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

2. Grease 12 muffin tins

3. Chop up and mash one banana - use a fork, potato masher and a large flat plate or bowl

4. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl (The dried off diced spinach specks go in the dry bowl)

5. Then thoroughly mix 1 teaspoon of soda with dry ingredients

6. Pour wet ingredients in with dry and mix with large spoon until combined
Don't beat mixture. Just mix until no dry spots are left.

7. Immediately Spoon into greased muffin tins

8. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes. Tops of muffins will get brown when done.
And a sharp knife shoved into a muffin comes out clean. If batter sticks to the blade. Cook it a bit more.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup warm honey

1 beaten egg

1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour

1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
(In a pinch you can mix up 3/4 cup of dry milk with water and squirt in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice -- This reacts with the soda and makes the batter rise)

1/2 cup raisins – 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

(Tip: Have some extra flour standing by. The size of the banana adds moisture. IF You didn't SQUEEZE
The Spinach dry you'll need extra flour too. You don't want a sloppy wet batter.
Your goal is to reach a moist mixture that sticks to your spoon or fork when mixing.)


==================
==================
DIRECTIONS for Squeezing 1/4 cup to 1/8th cup of Spinach -
Before Adding to the Recipe -

I - IF you use spinach right out of the garden, pull only 3 or 4 big leaves

II - IF you get leaf spinach in a whole foods store. Same thing.

You dry the leaves off on a paper towel. Put them on a cutting board and dice as fine as you can.
Blot again if they look wet.

DO NOT use a Food Processor machine. The leaves become a green gooey mess.

III - IF you buy frozen spinach or have leftover cooked spinach. Use an 1/8th of a cup.
Because it's very wet.

Find a thin hand cloth. Not a thicker towel. Place the wet spinach on the towel.
Spread it out some. Fold the towel over the spinach. Try to beat it to a pulp thru
the towel. Use a small pot or the butt of a big knife. A rolling pin can work if
you really LEAN on it.

Take a dull knife. Scrape what's left off the thin smooth towel. The towel will
have a wet green stain. Toss the drier spinach into the wet ingredients - bit by bit.
And Stir. So it doesn't stick together in a chunk.
