Marigold Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Sift flour into a large mixing bowl, add baking powder and salt; set aside.

Bring milk up to a boil, then remove from heat.
Stir in the petals, honey and vegetable oil.

Add egg, then combine with the dry ingredients.

Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full.

Bake 20 minutes.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk or soy milk
1/4 cup marigold petals
4 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten

NOTE:

Make certain that you use the petals of a pot marigold (Calendula) rather than an African marigold (Tagetes). Always use flowers when freshest, and be sure you're getting them from an organic source so you're not ingesting pesticides.
