Description

These basic muffins are the ultimate canvas for your creativity. With a simple base of flour, sugar, egg, milk, and oil, they bake up light, fluffy, and slightly sweet. The texture is tender with a satisfyingly crisp top, making them irresistible fresh from the oven. Whether enjoyed as a quick breakfast with coffee, a snack with tea, or a side dish for a brunch spread, these muffins are versatile and comforting. The batter comes together in minutes, requiring no special equipment&# 226;ÂÂjust a bowl and a whisk. Use this reliable foundation to create endless variations, from fruity blueberries to savory chives, ensuring you always have a fresh batch of homemade goodness ready to share.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients to mix well.
  5. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with a fork until broken up.
  6. Add milk and vegetable oil to the egg and stir to combine.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients.
  8. Stir the mixture gently until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
  9. Do not overmix; the batter should remain lumpy.
  10. Drop batter from a tablespoon into the prepared muffin cups, filling each half to two-thirds full.
  11. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  12. Remove from pan and serve hot.
