Sweet Clover Muffins.
In this season, I easily find sweet clover; a few days ago, I thought it wouldn’t bloom this year, but within a few days, I found myself with a field of sweet clover. Every early summer, I collect it to use in my desserts
It has a unique aroma, it’s very fragrant, and my house fills with a sweet, summery aroma. Meanwhile, the drying process continues, and its tiny flowers, both white and yellow, become even tinier, so there’s no need to pulverize them.
Today, I present to you the recipe for sweet clover muffins
a special breakfast featuring goodness and nature at your fingertips
If I add a dash of honey
there’s no debate over the aromatic notes that, when encountered by our taste buds, provide an immersion into sunny, flower-filled summer fields.
As often happens, it’s a very simple recipe to prepare. It’s sweet, but if you pair it with a spreadable cheese, I guarantee you’ll be surprised.

…And distribute in the molds which you will bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15 minutes. They will form a nice dome. Fill the molds two-thirds full, otherwise, you risk overflowing the batter and deforming your muffins.
