Here is a basic recipe that can be adapted for what is in season, what you have, and most of all, what you like. Just add everything and everything. Make it sweet, savory, or add herbs. But most people like them topped with frosting and things like coconut.
2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil.
4. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened, but do
not beat. The batter will be lumpy.
5. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden.
Serve with
A sausage patty in the middle and a fried egg.
Lather it up with jam, peanut butter, melted cheese, or anything you want.
