These muffins were always a special treat when I was a child. Now I have lots of muffin recipes, and I make one kind or another several times each week. But none are better than these...and for me, none come out of the oven with so many heartwarming memories attached!

4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center. Combine eggs, milk and oil. Pour into well and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened (do not overmix).

If Cooking for Two: Freeze baked muffins in freezer bags; thaw and reheat as needed.

These honestly tasted more like a biscuit than a muffin. They were a bit strange.
