I'm wanting a normal muffin recipe that I can add my own stuff to for flavoring, like berries and what not.

I've got flour(all purpose and wheat), sugar(white and brown), b. powder, b. soda, salt, veg and olive oils, eggs, couple of spices(all I know is I don't have nutmeg-grrr). I can see if I have other things but thats a start. XD

I've been looking online and found a jam one that looks good but I'm iffy on that one right now.

EDIT: I don't have a sifter either...

Okay, now I SO need to go buy wheat germ cause yum!

This sounds like a good recipe. It's similar to the one I use. It's a plain neutral muffin recipe. You just add all the added stuff you want. Just make sure you don't end up with too runny of muffins.

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. shortening

Mix and sift the dry ingredients. Combine the milk and well beaten egg. Add gradually to the dry ingredients, stirring well. Add melted fat. Grease and fill muffin pans 2/3 full. Bake about 25 minutes at 425 degrees. Yields 12 medium sized muffins.

As a personal note with baking. if any recipe has baking soda and salt replace the soda with baking powder. It makes it less salty.

Plus the Bisquick recipe on muffins is great too! It's quick and easy.

If you have a strainer or tea strainer it will work. All a sifter does is make everything finer and less clumpy.

[Starlit Rogue]

lol, the only strainer I have is for noodles. XD

EDIT: Can I technically get away with not sifting it?

[mouse]

Hey Biscuit. I should bake you! *is a pastry chef*

Gotta go get something to eat now.. I'll be back in a few.

[Starlit Rogue]

Have fun!

You can... But you might have lumpy muffins. Just make sure while you add all the ing. make sure they are blended will.. Just quickly whisk with a fork.

EDIT: whisk the stuff it says to sift with a fork.

[Starlit Rogue]

Fork? Got it! *so needs to invest in wheat germ and a sifter*

[Biscuit]

LOL Alright Mouse! A pastry chef!
That's pretty darn cool. I can think of lots of sweets...Biscuit probably should have been a brownie.
LOL
