Plain Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cupfuls flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoonful salt
- 2 tablespoonfuls fat
- 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cupful milk
Instructions
Break the egg into a mixing bowl, beat it. Add the milk to it. Melt the fat, add it to the egg mixture.
Measure the dry ingredients thoroughly. Add them (through a sifter) to the other ingredients. Mix quickly and thoroughly, and drop into buttered muffin pans. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) from 25 to 30 minutes.
Whole wheat flour may be substituted for fine white flour.
For graham muffins, use 1 cupful of fine white flour and 1 cupful of graham flour.
1 1/8 cupfuls of sour milk may be used instead of 1 cupful of sweet milk. If this substitution is made, use 1/2 teaspoonful baking soda and decrease the baking powder to 2 teaspoonfuls.
Molasses may be substituted for sugar.
