I have been making these muffins for over 30 years. This is a recipe from Elizabeth Alston's lovely book Muffins: Sixty Sweet and Savory Recipes ... From Old Favorites To New (Clarkson Potter, 1985). They are wonderful for brunch with fruit and a salad. These muffins will stick to any baking surface. You'll be very disappointed if you don't use foil liners.

What great muffins--the cottage cheese, dill, onion, and black pepper (which gives a bit of a kick!) are fantastic together!! I scaled the recipe down to 6 servings; and used whole wheat pastry flour, sodium-free baking powder, and freshly ground black pepper--and all of that worked out fine. Next time I'm going to try replacing the butter with olive oil (as another reviewer did), to see how we like that. And I'm going to allow more time for the muffins to cool completely--as they are much easier to remove from the paper muffin liners when they are cool then when they are warm. These muffins are such wonderful comfort food; I look forward to making them again! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Michelle Berteig!!
