These are wonderful for just throwing in your favorite ingredients-I don't need any other muffin recipes. Editing to add, based on a recent review: Be sure not to overmix muffins; if you do, they will be tough. They should still be lumpy when you are finished mixing them. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup white sugar |
1 egg |
1 cup milk |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
3. Make a well in the center.
4. In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork.
5. Stir in milk and oil.
6. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture.
7. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened, but do not beat.
8. The batter will be lumpy. DO NOT OVERMIX. This will create tough/heavy muffins.
9. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.
10. Variations: Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup fresh blueberries.
11. Raisin Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped raisins.
12. Date Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped dates.
13. Cheese Muffins: Fold in 1 cup grated sharp yellow cheese.
14. Bacon Muffins: Fold 1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, broken into bits.
15. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden.
