Another muffin – basic recipe

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 30 g butter
• 1 egg(s)
• 220 ml buttermilk
• 190 g Flour (wholemeal spelled flour)
• 80 g sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 20 hours; Total time approx. 20 hours 20 minutes

with suggested variations

Preheat the oven to 160°C fan/convection oven. Melt the butter and mix with the buttermilk and egg. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir briefly until the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes on the middle rack. Large muffins may need to be baked for 20-25 minutes (use a toothpick to check if the dough is done). The recipe made 24 small and 3 large muffins for us, and of course, we tweaked the boring basic batter a bit. Here are a few ideas from my brother and me: Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa or cocoa powder to the batter (depending on how sweet you want it), fold in some chocolate chips, color only part of the batter with cocoa powder to make “marble muffins,” stick a blackberry in the batter (looks especially sweet on small muffins), add dried cranberries or raisins to the batter, fill the muffins with jam, Nutella, or cream cheese (to do this, pour some batter into the pan, add the filling, and cover with batter again), fold in chopped nuts, make rum-grape-nut muffins with rum flavoring, raisins, and hazelnuts (or chocolate), mix in coconut flakes and pineapple pieces, fold in apple pieces and cinnamon, mix in chopped banana and/or apple, add blueberries, add cherries and grated almonds to the batter, and mix in grated carrot and apple. There are plenty of other variations, so you can be creative!
