Best Ever Muffins

So agree with the title here, it's the best muffins recipe I've ever found! Simple ingridient and yet easy process and since this one is just a basic batter we can improvise with literally anything to give more taste to the muffins. so far I've made raisin muffins, palm-fruit muffins and choco & raisin muffins, it turns out very well with anything. This one is really worth a keeper! ;-)

And here are what you need and how to make the muffins:

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the
center. In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil. Pour
all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until
moistened, but do not beat. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin
pan cups.
3. Variations: Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup fresh blueberries. Raisin Muffins: Add 1 cup finely
chopped raisins. Date Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped dates. Cheese Muffins: Fold in 1 cup
grated sharp yellow cheese. Bacon Muffins: Fold 1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, broken into bits.
4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden.

Buttermilk, apakah itu??

Waktu nyari-nyari resep sering banget nih ketemu istilah buttermilk sampe saking penasarannya sempet mencoba peruntungan buat nyari di Hypermart tapi gak nemu tuh, atau aku-nya kali yah yang gak liat... rencananya mau nyari lagi malam ini, tapi kalau gak nemu juga udah deh pakai konversi yang aku udah nemu mudah-mudah sih rasanya gak terlalu meleset. Ini dia konversinya:

1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup yogurt polos = 250 ml susu cair + 1 sendok makan cuka atau air lemon (aduk dan biarkan 10-15 menit, larutan akan mengental )= 250 ml susu cair + 1 1/2 sendok teh cream of tartar

Sengaja nih dibuat disini biar kalau lupa gampang lagi nyarinya! :P

Setelah dipikir-pikir yogurt juga kan katanya bisa sebagai pengganti sour cream, lah kalo gitu apa bedanya buttermilk sama sour cream? weleeh... bingung lagi deh! hmmm....

Setelah melakukan penelusuran lebih lanjut mengenai sour cream ternyata substitute-nya sama dengan buttermilk yaitu dengan menggunakan plain yogurt saja, tidak ditambahi vinegar atau pun jeruk lemon.
