  • 3
    Bake at 400°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until muffins are light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm.

  • * To substitute for buttermilk, use 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1/2 cup. ** If necessary to bake muffins in batches, remaining batter can be refrigerated and baked as soon as possible.
  • Originally, buttermilk was the liquid left after butter was churned. Today, it's made commercially by adding special bacteria cultures to low-fat or nonfat milk. Despite buttermilk's thick consistency and rich flavor, it is a low-fat or nonfat product. In baking, it provides tang and tenderness.
  • Stir 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts into the batter.
  • Dress up the muffins with a drizzle of icing made with powdered sugar and lemon juice.
