Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the beaten egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
-
Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the pan immediately and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
