These muffins are at their best when served warm with plain or peach butter. They are very quick and easy to make. If you can find them, wild blueberries have a deeper flavor. Frozen fruit may be used, but need to be thawed first. This is a very versatile recipe, feel free to experiment with it. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour |
1/3 cup sugar, white |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
