Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 16 large muffins

Ingredients:
- 3 cups cake flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 egg
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 1/4 cups shortening
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your muffin pans lightly.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt.

Add the chopped pecans to the dry ingredients mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
-
Pour in the brewed coffee and melted shortening into the beaten egg, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
