Classic Buttermilk Muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the muffin tin by coating it with a thin layer of cooking spray or lining each cup with a paper liner to prevent sticking.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Using a gentle sifting motion, blend these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
4
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5
Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until they are fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough batter.
6
If you're feeling extra fancy, now's the time to add your favorite fruit and gently fold it into the batter.
7
Using a spoon or muffin scoop, fill each prepared cup with the batter almost to the top.
8
Place your muffins in a preheated oven and bake until they are golden brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed, approximately 18 minutes.
