BASIC MUFFIN RECIPE

adapted from :    bakebyanintrovert.com

Ingredients :

2  cups  all-purpose flour   (260 gm)

1/2  cup  granulated sugar   (100 gm)

2  tsp  baking powder

1/2  tsp  salt

3/4  cup  fresh milk,  room temperature   (180 ml)

1/2  cup  unsalted butter,  melted and cooled   (114 gm)

2  large  eggs,  room temperature

2  tbsp  coarse sugar,  optional

Instructions :

1.  Preheat the oven to 350'F/176'C.  Line a muffin pan with paper liners; set aside.

2.  In a small bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.

3.  In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter and eggs together until well combined.

4.  Add the flour mixture and stir with a silicone spatula just until combined.

5.  Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if using.

6.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.

7.  Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.  Muffins are best the day they are made but they can be stored for later use.

Notes :

You can use oil instead of butter but keep in mind that the texture of the muffins will be much softer.
