My mom made these for us for a treat, usually on a Saturday or a Sunday morning. I loved them; and they're not like todays muffins that are really cake. These are absolutely delishous and very good with eggs and bacon or just with a cup of cocoa. I make them for my kids now...and when I am a stay at home mom, I make them in the mornings before they go to school or work. We all love 'em!

How To Make deliciously plain ol' fashioned muffins

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin cups (2 3/4" diameter) of muffin pan with butter flavored vegetable spray or grease with shortening, lightly, or of course you can use paper cups that go in the muffin tins.
  • Step 2
    Beat egg, stir in milk and oil. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients, and make a well in the center.
  • Step 3
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir well just until moistened. Batter should be lumpy.
  • Step 4
    Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan to wire rack. Serve hot or warm, with butter, preserves, jelly or honey.
