Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider sifting the flour before mixing. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter or a vegan alternative can work well. You can also substitute half of the plain flour with whole wheat for added nutrition. Make sure your sourdough starter is active for the best rise. These muffins can be customized with add-ins like blueberries or nuts.
Serving Suggestions
These sourdough muffins are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with Kelly'S Cucumber Sandwiches for a light lunch. Serve with a dollop of butter or a spread of jam for breakfast. They also make a great snack with a side of Tomato Sauce Dip for a savory twist.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in a microwave or toaster oven for best results, ensuring they are warmed through.
