Ingredients

  • 2 cups — all-purpose flour

  • 3 teaspoons — baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon — salt

  • ¾ cup — white sugar

  • 1 large — egg

  • 1 cup — milk

  • ¼ cup — vegetable oil

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • Stir flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
  • Beat egg with a fork in a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup; whisk in milk and oil. Pour egg mixture all at once into flour mixture; mix quickly and lightly with a fork until just moistened. The batter will be lumpy. (Fold in additional ingredients if using; see variations below). Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes.
