Assembly Directions:

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, and sour cream, mixing well. All at one time, add flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir until all is moistened and slightly lumpy. Pour into oiled muffin cups filled 2/3 full and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes for regular muffins and 12 minutes for mini-muffins. These muffins freeze and thaw very well.

Freezing Directions:

Allow to cool.  Place muffins in freezer bags or rigid containers.  Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature. They can be warmed in the microwave after thawing. Microwave on high for 10 to 15 seconds.

Comments:

1 cup of blueberries, nuts, raisins or chocolate chips may be added.
For spice muffins, with the flour, add 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. ground nutmeg, 1/8 t. ground cloves.
To give interesting texture to plain muffins, substitute 1/4 cup of cornmeal for 1/4 cup of the flour.
