Rye Muffins I

Flavor: Good stuff, but don't expect a strong rye flavor. A pleasantly moist muffin with good texture and mild flavor, almost a hint of sourdough to it.

Difficulty: Follow the directions. Yet again, easy and reasonably fast.

How close did I stick to the original?: I didn't melt the butter (it was room temperature soft) and this  was a mistake - blending would have been much easier if I'd taken the moment to melt the butter. Again, the KitchenAid mixer came into play and now I am beginning to wonder about the joys of a power sifter if I keep this up. The sifter caught a fair amount of partially milled grain that otherwise might well have added an undesirable amount of crunch to the muffin. Mild re-wording of the recipe for modern/beginning cooks.
