E-Z Dinner Muffins
E-Z Dinner Muffins are quick, fluffy, and savory treats perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour, milk, and mayonnaise together in a bowl until well combined.
- Grease muffin pans well and spoon the batter into them.
- Bake at 350° to 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider substituting half the self-rising flour with whole wheat flour. If you’re out of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt works as a great alternative for moisture. Additionally, feel free to add ingredients like shredded cheese or cooked bacon for extra flavor. These muffins are versatile and can be customized to suit your taste, making them a fantastic option alongside American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These E-Z Dinner Muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a quick snack. Serve them warm with a dab of butter or alongside a hearty soup or salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Kentucky Fried Chicken or can be enjoyed as a standalone treat. For a delightful twist, try them with a side of apple butter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but be sure to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to achieve the same rise and flavor as self-rising flour provides.
What can I add to the muffins for more flavor?
You can add a variety of ingredients such as herbs, spices, cheese, or even cooked vegetables. For a sweeter version, consider adding chocolate chips or dried fruit. This versatility allows you to create different flavor profiles for your muffins.
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 while baking, as ovens can vary, and they may take slightly less or more time than the specified 8 to 10 minutes.
