- 2 cups nearly normal flour

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg, slightly beaten

Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes each.

- Use 1/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the batter. After filling the cups, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and more chopped nuts.
- Date or Raisin Muffins.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates or 1/3 cup raisins to the batter.
- Bacon Muffins.
