Best Ever And Most Versatile Muffins

These are wonderful for just throwing in your favorite ingredients---i don't need any other muffin recipes. Editing to add, based on a recent review: be sure not to overmix muffins; if you do, they will be tough. They should still be lumpy when you are finished mixing them.

Steps

Preheat oven to 400f.
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.
Do not overmix.
This will create tough / heavy muffins.
Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.
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.
Bake for 25 minutes , or until golden.
