Rancho de La Osa Corn Muffins
So many recipes came to us for Tastes & Treasures cookbook that are meant for large crowds. This one makes 4 dozen and I am sure Rancho de La Osa Resort goes through them quickly. The Historical League has toured their kitchen and everything is made from scratch. You can cut this recipe in 1/2 for more “normal” family sizes.
