Dandelion Muffins and Bread

Before making this recipe, you'll need to harvest a cup of dandelions petals.
Ingredients:

• 2 cups unbleached flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup dandelion petals
• 1/4 cup canola oil (or olive oil)
• 4 Tbsp. honey
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups milk

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, including petals, and mix. Make sure to separate clumps of petals. In separate bowl mix together milk, honey, oil, and beat in egg. Add liquid ingredients to dry and stir. Batter should be fairly wet and lumpy. Pour into buttered bread tin or muffing tin. Bake at 400 degrees. A dozen muffins will take 20-25 minutes. Bread will take 25-30 or more minutes. At 25 minutes, check doneness of bread with a toothpick. If still too moist inside, lower oven temperature to 350 and continue to bake, checking every five minutes.
