--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      large         egg
     1/2  cup           sour cream
     1/2  cup           milk
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
   4      tablespoons   butter (1/2 stick) -- melted and cooled
   1 1/2  cups          diced ripe mango
   2      cups          flour
     1/2  cup           sugar
   1      tablespoon    baking powder
     1/4  teaspoon      baking soda
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
                        -----TOPPING-----
     1/3  cup           chopped unsalted macadamia nuts
     1/4  cup           flour
     1/4  cup           light brown sugar
     1/4  teaspoon      ground cinnamon
   2      tablespoons   butter -- softened

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F.

For topping:  Combine all ingredients except butter in a small bowl; mash in
butter with a fork or rub in with your fingertips; chill until needed.

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin; be sure to lightly grease area around the muffin
wells so they won't stick as they rise.  In a large bowl, whisk together
egg, sour cream, milk, vanilla and melted butter; fold in mango.  In another
large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add mango
mixture.  Fold together just to moisten and evenly blend; the batter will be
lumpy.

Using a large spoon, quickly fill muffin wells with batter to the tops.
Crumble topping over and bake 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
into center emerges with just a few crumbs clinging to it.  Cool in pan 5 -
10 minutes; loosen muffins and tilt each on its side to cool further.  Serve
warm or at room temperature.

YIELD:  12 muffins
