Paul Prudhomme's Black Muffins

Directions

In a medium-size bowl combine the hot water and molasses, stirring until well blended.

In a large bowl sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

With a rubber spatula, fold the liquid mixture and the pecans into the dry ingredients just until flour is thoroughly incorporated; do not over mix.

Spoon into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 300F until done, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Serve hot.
