from Better Homes and Gardens Quick Breads Cookbook
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
5 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 beaten eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
.66 (2/3) cup cooking oil
Stir together all dry ingredients and push to the sides of the bowl.
In another bowl, combine the liquid ingredients. Pour all at once into the center of the dry ingredients. Stir until JUST moistened. It will look lumpy and some of the lumps may have a little dry ingredients in the center. Do Not over mix. (it causes pointy tops, big air tunnels inside and chewy texture).
Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups, bake at 375°F for 18-20 minutes. Makes two dozen.
Variations:
Use brown sugar instead of white. This is my kids' favorite.
Replace some of the milk volume with juice from canned fruit, then stir in the chopped fruit.
Stir in chocolate chips and/or nuts.
Stir in chopped apple and/or raisins.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to any variation, or use alone. Cardamom or nutmeg is also good.
These are very quick to make and taste great.
