Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease muffin tins.
- Stir biscuit mix and sugar together in a bowl.

- Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter muffin, consider adding chocolate chips or dried fruit to the batter. If you want a healthier option, you can replace half of the water with unsweetened applesauce. This will add moisture and sweetness without extra sugar. Ensure not to overmix the batter; lumps are okay, as they help keep the muffins light and fluffy. This recipe is similar in simplicity to American recipes like Happy Day Or One-Bowl Cake.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack, and they pair well with a spread of butter or jam. Consider serving them alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For a more indulgent experience, try them with a dollop of whipped cream, reminiscent of serving options in Mrs. English's Pound Cake.
Storage & Reheating
After baking, allow the muffins to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave a muffin for 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk instead of water?
Yes, you can substitute milk for water to make the muffins richer and creamier. Whole milk, almond milk, or any preferred milk alternative will work well. However, keep in mind that using a liquid other than water may slightly alter the texture and flavor.
How can I make these muffins gluten-free?
To make gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free biscuit mix instead of regular biscuit mix. Ensure all other ingredients are also gluten-free. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly, as gluten-free flours can absorb more moisture.
Can I add spices to this muffin recipe?
Absolutely! You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract. Start with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg for a warm flavor profile. These additions will complement the sweetness of the muffins beautifully.
