Ingredients for Best Ever And Most Versatile Muffins

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • White Sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Vegetable Oil

How to Make Best Ever And Most Versatile Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients.
  6. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together with a fork until just moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  7. Stir in your choice of add-ins (see variations below).
  8. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
