A good muffin recipe is a good buttermilk muffin recipe!


I have a basic muffin recipe I got from... I have no clue where I got. It's been too long ago.  It's the kind of recipe where once you have the batter made you can add whatever you want to it. I like to add one of the following:

  • cranberries
  • cranberries and white chocolate chips
  • almonds
  • blueberries
  • chocolate chips
  • mint chocolate chips
  • butterscotch chips

These are easy to make, too. 
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or plain milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking POWDER
  • 2 cups flour
  • your choice of goodies
Get the batter into the muffin tins, bake at 425F for 7 minutes, then turn the heat back to 350F and bake for another 13 - 15 minutes. You know your oven. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR until the time is up. Cool, eat, or freeze. 

I like to make two batches and freeze them, and they freeze perfectly. A muffin is a good breakfast or late night snack (sometimes). 

There you have it. It's time to get the second batch out of the oven. Enjoy!
