Basic Vanilla Muffins for Dinner (Not Sweet!)

Good at dinner especially when served with highly spiced or flavorful main dishes. Similar in taste to a popover or cornbread minus the cornmeal. As one review has mentioned, these are *not* a sweet muffin. I usually serve them at dinner.

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 2  cups flour
• 1  tablespoon baking powder
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 2  eggs, slightly beaten
• 1  cup milk
• 8  tablespoons butter, melted (light butter works fine)
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F Grease muffin pans and set aside.
2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until completely mixed. Place the sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well. Add the combined dry ingredients and mix by hand just until the batter is blended; it should not be completely smooth.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the pans and serve warm.
