Melt margarine in microwave. Grease muffin tins. Mix dry ingredients. Fork beat eggs into cooled margarine. Add milk. Pour wet into dry. Combine until just moistened.
Batter will be lumpy. Don’t over-mix. Fill muffin tins 1/2 full. Bake at 425F for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from tins immediately. Makes 2 dozen.
Best eaten fresh, as these don’t freeze well.
* If you don’t have fresh lemons on hand, put 1 tsp. bottled lemon juice into the milk/egg mixture.
** ”Northline” S’toons make an almond-flavoured “true” saskatoon muffin.
“Smoky” S’toons are closest in taste to a blueberry.
“Thiessen” S’toons are just too big and juicy and don’t work well in this recipe.
