Time 30m

Yield 10 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Mix milk and egg together well. Mix dry ingredients and cut in butter. Add to milk/egg mixture. Add sugar. Stir until just moistened. Fill greased or paper lined muffin pans 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 10 muffins.
  • You may change the basic muffins by adding one (only one) of the variations to the dry ingredients before adding other basic ingredients. Follow rest of the baking instructions as stated above.
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup peeled and cored grated apples, 1 cup blueberries (rinsed well and patted dry, if they are canned or frozen), 1 tbs. grated orange OR lemon peel.

Tips:

  • For a classic muffin, use all-purpose flour. For a denser muffin, use whole wheat flour. For a lighter muffin, use cake flour.
  • The type of sugar you use will affect the texture of your muffins. Granulated sugar will produce a denser muffin, while brown sugar will produce a moister muffin.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. Overfilling the cups will cause the muffins to rise too high and may cause them to overflow.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
