BASIC MUFFINS: SIMPLE AND EASY

Steps:

• Thoroughly grease and flour a 12-cup muffin pan (or use paper muffin liners).
• Ensure that the melted butter is warm, but not hot. Pour a tiny bit of the butter into the egg-vanilla-milk mixture and stir it in. Repeat a few more times, adding a slightly larger amount of the liquid butter each time until it's all incorporated.
• Let the batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes, to allow the glutens in the flour to relax, and some of those pockets of dry flour to dissolve.
• Serve and enjoy.
