Basic Muffin Recipe
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whisk these together in a bowl.
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
In a separate bowl, whisk these together, then add the flour mixture and fold into until the dry ingredients are moist. Do not over mix, batter should be lumpy.

Zest of 1 Lemon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice

These muffins look really good. Now not really summer here and we are a ways away but these sure look good. And the grocers currently has all their berries on sale. I guess I am going to be baking muffins today. Thanks for the recipe, can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThat marbled greenish colored tomato in your header photo is very attractive. When I was taking photos of the school market day, the parent told me to take a photo of them. I haven't tried them. Are they nice.
ReplyDeleteTo Ann, yes the tomato's are wonderful. You should try growing some of the heirlooms, the flavor is wonderful and many can be grown in a pot on your patio if you don't have a garden plot.
