Text Ingredients

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. For streusel, in a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon until crumbly. Stir in pecans; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened.
• Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups one-fourth full. Drop 1 tablespoon streusel into the center of each muffin cup; cover with batter. Sprinkle tops with remaining streusel.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean, 20-22 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
