Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Grease 12 standard-sized muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients to combine evenly.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly with a fork.
  6. Add the milk and vegetable oil to the beaten egg and stir until combined.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients.
  8. Gently stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  9. Do not overmix; the batter should remain lumpy.
  10. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  11. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Remove muffins from the pan and serve warm.
