Quick Budget Friendly Muffins

Pay day is today but shopping won’t happen until the weekend so I’m getting very creative with what’s left in the cupboards and refrigerator. I hate going to the store for only one or two things because I usually come home with two bags full of bargains I just couldn’t pass up. Nope, payday shopping requires a list that I usually can keep to without too many extra expenditures . . . usually! This one recipe looked good for either a fast breakfast treat or something to go with stew or soup for dinner.

Quick Budget Friendly Muffins
1 cup whole milk
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup softened butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with sprayed vegetable oil. This recipe should make 12 muffins.

Mix together milk, egg, and butter in a mixing bowl. In another bole, combine the dry ingredients. Lightly combine the dry and wet ingredients being careful to not
over beat the ingredients. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until raised and golden. Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature.

*King Arthur Flour came out with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour which I’m anxious to try in place of the wheat flour used in this recipe. To date, I’ve been a huge fan of Better Batter but, according to King Arthur, you can substitute this gluten-free flour in your regular recipes.
