Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Sugar -- up to 1/2
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 egg Lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. 3
    In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the beaten egg, milk, and vegetable oil.
  4. 4
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
  5. 5
    Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
  6. 6
    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. 7
    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. 8
    Remove the muffins from the pan immediately and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
