Description

This classic muffin recipe provides a reliable, tender canvas for countless creative variations. The base batter combines simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, milk, and oil to create a light yet satisfying texture. Whether you prefer sweet treats studded with berries or savory options with cheese and chives, this method ensures consistent results every time. The key is gentle mixing to avoid toughness, yielding soft, fluffy interiors with crisp tops. Perfect for weekend breakfasts, lunchbox snacks, or afternoon tea, these muffins are as easy to make as they are delicious. Customize them with fresh fruits, nuts, or spices to suit any taste or occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Grease 12 standard 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork, then stir in milk and vegetable oil until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients.
  6. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened; batter will be lumpy.
  7. Drop batter from a tablespoon into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup half to two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from pan and serve warm.
