Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your sour cream is at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the oleo with unsalted butter or coconut oil for a different flavor profile. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt (1 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt). These muffins can also be enhanced with chocolate chips or fresh fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour. Just add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for each cup of flour to achieve a similar rise.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary slightly based on your oven.
Can I add mix-ins like fruits or nuts?
Absolutely! You can fold in blueberries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips into the batter before baking. Just be mindful not to overmix, as this can affect the muffins' texture.
