Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup medium rye flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed, crushed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups or grease. In small skillet, cook onions in margarine until tender. Set aside.
  • 2
    In large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rye flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and caraway seed; mix well. Add milk, eggs and cooked onions; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • 3
    Bake at 400°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm.

  • Rye flour is best used in combination with all-purpose flour for proper rising. It's most perishable than all-purpose flour and is best stored in the refrigerator.
  • To crush caraway seeds, a traditional mortar and pestle work well. Otherwise, place the seeds on a cutting board and crush them with a heavy cast-iron frying pan or the side of a chef's knife or cleaver.
  • Serve rye muffins with baked ham and a dollop of mustard for a variation on ham-on-rye sandwiches, or accompany the muffins with a hearty peasant-style soup.
