My Mom had a muffin tin just like it in the 1950's. I learned to bake muffins in it and as I recall, all it took was a quick swipe with a wet dishcloth to get it clean before baking. Wonderful memories!

Thinking further, I believe my Nanny (aka Grandmother) had one very similar. Perhaps that's why as soon as I saw it, my heart sang! I will have to keep an eye out when antiquing for vintage kitchenware.

I'm in LOVE with that muffin pan. Is it a family heirloom or can it be purchased somewhere?

Hey f&s: Many congrats on your upcoming wedding and have fun on your big day! And congrats too on having your Dutch Baby recipe named as a Pear EP! I remember testing this recipe last winter and absolutely loving it. In fact, when I saw it as an entry in the pear recipe contest, I was thinking that it is definitely time to make it again!
