MUFFINS

Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #7
(sometimes I use a mix that you only have to add water or milk, mix and bake, but here is the recipe for the real thing)

2 cups flour
1 TBS baking powder
½ tsp. salt
2 TBS sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 TBS melted butter or margarine

Mix dry ingredients before adding liquids. Fill greased muffin pans one-half to two-thirds full. Bake 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops of muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch.

Variations:
· Substitute 4 TBS bacon drippings for butter
· Add 1 cup blueberries (drained). Add 1 TBS sugar if desired
· Substitute 1 cup corn meal for 1 cup flour. Substitute ½ tsp baking soda for 1 tsp baking powder and 1 cup sour milk for 1 cup sweet milk.
· Add ½ cup chopped, pitted dates
· Substitute ½ cup orange juice for ½ cup milk. Add 1 tsp grated orange rind.
