Ingredients

2 c. King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. (3/4 stick) butter or margarine
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
2 c. fresh blueberries or chopped apple or chopped peach or chopped pear, etc. (optional)
1 c. chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans, etc., optional)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg mixed with 1 Tbsp. sugar (for top)

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°.
2

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
3

In a separate bowl, cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until light and fluffy.
4

Add the eggs and beat well. Blend this mixture with the dry ingredients alternately with the milk.
5

Fold the fruit and nuts (etc.) in quickly.
6

Because these muffins will rise up and over the edge of your muffin tin, you'll want to grease the top of the pan as well as the cups. Fill the cups nearly 3/4 full and sprinkle with the spiced sugar.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
