Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to make the muffins light and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the muffins in a hot oven: Baking the muffins in a hot oven will help them to rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the muffins.
