Vintage Recipe Friday: Easy Mix Muffins

Rich! Tender! Quick!
These look delicious - and not only are they easy, but muffins are perfect for the first delicious early berries and fruits of spring! Hit up your local Farmer's Market this weekend and enjoy these nibblies.

Easy Mix Muffins 
From McCall's, July 1953

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

You need:
Two cups sifted flour
Three teaspoons baking powder
One teaspoon salt
Two tablespoons sugar
One egg, well-beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup cooking oil

Mix and sift first flour ingredients into a bowl. Make a well and add remaining ingredients. Stir only enough to dampen flour; batter should be lumpy. Fill greased muffins pans 2/3 full. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. 

Blueberry Muffins: Increase sugar to 1/3 cup and add one cup fresh berries to sifted dry ingredients.

Peanut Butter Muffins: Cut 1/2 cup peanut butter into mixed and sifted dry ingredients.
