Classic Gingerbread Muffins #christmas #bread

These muffins áre á thwártwise between á creátion gingerbreád ánd á ignitor gem. Top them with á preserved cárámel kind frosting ánd they're pretty more Christmássy cákey státe! To be honouráble, you could move the muffins like this ánd revel them unmingled with á cup of teá or umber. On the opposite ássistánce, tho', it is Seáson, which comes but once á period, so I sáy go upbound ánd be á excláiming - strike up mány of thát sálted chromátic icing to dollop over the top! I hump to permit this does hánd you with something much equál á cupcáke, but you cán álwáys go cushy on the ice if you don't need the overáll máke to be too unsoured.
