I Love This Recipe

I've used this muffin recipe again, for the millionth time, and I still love it.  It's really simple, it's foolproof, it's consistent, and easily adapted.  Although they're technically muffins they work as biscuits as well (the American kind of biscuit, not the English kind).  I've put it below with some adaptation suggestions (today, I made cheddar, garlic and chive ones).  Enjoy, and let me know if they work for you!

 

EASIEST MUFFINS EVER (makes 12)

 

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup milk

2 fluid ounces vegetable oil

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease muffin tins.

 

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Mix in egg, milk, and oil.  Spoon into muffin tins, filling slightly more than half way.

 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

 

ADAPTATIONS:

 

Orange Muffins : Up the sugar amount to 4 tablespoons, and instead of using 1 cup of milk, use 3/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of orange juice, and add the zest from the orange

 

Blackcurrant Muffins : Use 8 tbsp sugar and add 1/2 cup of blackcurrants

 

Maple Nut Muffins : Add 2 tbsp maple syrup and 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts

 

Cheese, Garlic and Chive Muffins : Add a small palmful of garlic powder, lots of cheese (it's hard to add too much), a small palmful of freshly cut chives, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes

 

I suppose, that it's just adding ingredients and/or using slightly less milk and a little of some other liquid.  Honestly, these are so terribly simple that it's unbelievable.  I really hope that you can get some use out of this.  It's awesome to make a batch to have to snack on over a few days.
