MUFFINS

Muffins 

INGREDIENTS

2 cups white flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 cup milk

1/4 cup melted butter

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter muffin pans. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg, milk, and butter, stirring only enough to dampen the flour; the batter should not be smooth. Spoon into the muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes each.

Blueberry Muffins.

Use 1/2 cup sugar. Reserve 1/4 cup of the flour, sprinkle it over 1 cup blueberries, and stir them into the batter last.

Date or Raisin Muffins.

Add 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates or 1/3 cup raisins to the batter.
