"I thought these sounded good and a way to use up some cake flour I bought for another recipe. Note: these use cake flour which isn't the same thing as all-purpose or self-rising flour. Recipe source: Martha Stewart Living"

I made this recipe because of my love for fresh thyme spice, these are good and different, I don't know if I would call them muffins though, they are more like a biscuit, usually I always increase the yeast for recipes but for this recipe I decreased the yeast to 1 tablespoon and that seemed to work fine. These are tender and buttery, I urge any thyme lover to make these, I know I will make them again! thanks Ellie...Kitten:)

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
