Ingredients:

MUFFINS
1 1/2 cups Bakers Fresh Self Raising Flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup diced dried apple, dried cranberries, raisins, or other dried fruit; or nuts; or chips
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
1/3 cup melted butter

TOPPING (OPTIONAL)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar; or 1/4 granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan; or line the pan with papers, and grease the papers.
2. Whisk together the flour and sugar, then stir in the fruit/nuts/chips.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and melted butter.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined; the mixture should remain slightly lumpy.
5. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, filling the cups about 3/4 full.
6. Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until they’re lightly browned. Remove them from the oven, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan.
7. For a tasty finish, dip the muffins’ tops in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.Yield: 12 muffins.
