how do you make an american muffin?

Answer 1

For twelve large or twenty smaller muffins:

4 oz (110 g) plain flour
4 oz (110g) wholemeal flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons caster sugar
2 oz (60g) jumbo oats
1 oz (30g) dessicated coconut
1 oz (30g) walnuts
7 fl oz (100 ml) milk
2 oz (50g) baking margarine or butter
1 egg, beaten
Method
Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 200 Celsius, 400 Fahrenheit.

Sift the flours, baking powder and sugar from a height into a bowl. Add the coconuts and oats. Crush the walnuts between your fingers and add to the flour mixture.

Melt the fat in a pan or microwave, then add the milk and beat in the egg. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and sloppy.

Put the bun cases in the bun tin, then fill them to their tops with the mixture.

Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack

Answer 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Place rack in middle of oven. Line muffin pans with paper liners or spray with a vegetable spray.

In a small measuring cup mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and place in a small bowl to make a streusel topping later. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest. Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix this mixture or the muffins will be tough when baked.

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Fill any unused muffins cups with water to prevent the pan from warping.

For streusel topping: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter and drizzle over the reserved 1 cup of streusel topping. Mix together with a fork until it is crumbly and looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of the streusel over the top of each muffin. Place in the oven and bake until very lightly browned and firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 - 20 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Makes 16 -18 regular-sized muffins.

Note: Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh. Do not thaw the berries before using them. Make sure you do not overmix the batter after you add the blueberries or the batter will turn blue.

For the Muffins:

1 cup (240 ml) milk

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar

1 tablespoon (12 grams) baking powder
