Plain muffins

Tried out a plain muffin recipe from about.com and felt it a tad too salty and I can taste the baking powder in there. I shall up the sugar and butter and cut the salt and baking powder next time and perhaps use self-raising flour instead. I've added chocolate chips after pouring into the tray and they stayed on top. I would fold in the chips the next time. Anyway, here's the original recipe, just in case you are interested:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup melted shortening (I used butter instead)

This would make 6 muffins from the standard muffin tray.

Happy experimenting!
