I can&#8217;t for the life of me make a really good muffin. They&#8217;re either too moist, too dry, too crumbly, too heavy &#8211; you name it, I&#8217;ve made it and badly.<\/p>\n<p>After many experiments (that The Grumpy One still eats!) I&#8217;ve finally developed one that I&#8217;m happy with. This is a basic recipe that can be adapted with different add-ins and toppings.<\/p>\n<p>This makes around 10 large muffins. It&#8217;s easy to double the recipe. Just make sure you place the flour and other dry ingredients in a large bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Muffins are best eaten warm. I like to split them open and spread with lashings of butter.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<b><\/b><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-4457\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"4457\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-meadow\"><div class=\"wprm-layout-container wprm-padding-40 meadow-header\">\n  <div class=\"wprm-layout-column-container wprm-column-gap-20 wprm-column-rows-recipe-600 wprm-column-rows-reverse wprm-row-gap-20 meadow-header-columns\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-align-center\">\n      \n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-layout-column wprm-column-width-75 wprm-align-rows-center\">\n      <div class=\"wprm-layout-container meadow-header-accent\" style=\"--wprm-layout-container-text-color: var(--meadow-accent-color);\">\n        <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-author wprm-block-text-semi-bold\">ThermoGourmand<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Muffin Master Recipe<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n      \n      <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\">A very handy recipe to have when you need to bake something to take for morning tea.
