Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the egg, melted butter, sugar, and milk in a mixing bowl.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing. If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the butter with Greek yogurt. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar to 1/2 cup. For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or fresh fruit like blueberries. These muffins are reminiscent of the delightful texture found in Aunt Tessie'S Hot Milk Sponge Cake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these muffins warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack. For a delightful brunch spread, serve alongside fresh fruit or yogurt. You might also enjoy them with a slice of Pumpkin Bread(4 Cans) for a cozy fall treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins 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, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking. This way, you can enjoy fresh muffins without the morning rush. If you bake them in advance, simply let them cool completely before storing as mentioned earlier.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
If you're out of milk or prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk in equal amounts. Alternatively, you can use yogurt mixed with a little water to achieve a similar consistency. This will still yield moist muffins with great flavor.
How can I tell 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 during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overbaking. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
