Plain muffins and three variations.
Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons fat (like butter, shortening, or vegetable oil)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
Directions:
1. Follow muffin method of mixing.[I think Grandma meant to combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, then stir all together until just moistened leaving plenty of lumps. Finally, cook at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes.].
2. Variations:.
3. Whole Wheat Muffins - Substitute 1 c whole wheat flour for 1 c white flour. Dates or raisins may be added, if desired.
4. Jelly Muffins - Plain muffins plus jelly. Fill pans half full of batter, add 1/2 t of jelly to each pan, cover with rest of batter and drop another 1/2 t of jelly on top.
5. Date Muffins - Plain muffins plus 1/2 c chopped dates. Add chopped dates to dry ingredients.
