Best Ever (And Most Versatile) Muffins! image

These are wonderful for just throwing in your favorite ingredients---I don't need any other muffin recipes. Editing to add, based on a recent review: Be sure not to overmix muffins; if you do, they will be tough. They should still be lumpy when you are finished mixing them.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).

  • Make a well in the center.
  • In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork.
