Muffins Basic And Variations

The Gospel seems irrelevant to the smug child who isn’t required to do anything he does not want to do. It seems irrelevant to the arrogant child who has been told all his life how wonderful he is. But the gospel has great relevance for the child who is persuaded that God calls him to do something that is not native to his sinful heart – to joyfully and willingly submit to the authority of someone else! Only the power of the gospel can give a willing heart and the strength to obey.

ingredients are moistened.  Batter will be  lumpy.  Drop batter from a
tablespoon into prepared muffins pans, filling  each cup half to
two-thirds full.  Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.  Remove
from pan and  serve hot with butter, jam or marmalade. VARIATIONS:
GINGER MUFFINS:  Add 1/2 Cup finely diced candied ginger to flour
mixture before adding liquid.  BANANA PECAN MUFFINS:  Prepare muffin

ground nutmeg to sifted  flour.  Add 1 cup mashed, peeled banana with
the egg, milk and oil.  BLUEBERRY MUFFINS:  Toss 1 cup washed and
well-drained fresh or frozen  blueberries with sifted flour mixture
before adding liquid.  ORANGE MUFFINS:  Cut 2 peeled navel oranges into
sections.  When  batter is in the cups, place an orange section on top
of each and  sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.  CHEESE MUFFINS:
Fold 1/2 cup grated sharp yellow cheese into muffin  mix with the last
few strokes on batter.  Serve hot with scrambled  eggs and bacon for a
special breakfast.  SURPRISE MUFFINS:  Fill muffin cups 1/3rd full of
batter.  Drop 1/2 t  of your favorite jelly in center of batter.  Add
batter to fill cup  2/3rds full.  Kids just love these as you will.
COCONUT MUFFINS:  Add 1 c Shredded coconut with the last few strokes
of mixing.  For a snack have coconut muffins, butter and milk.  CHIVE
MUFFINS:  Fold 1/4 cup chives into the batter during the last  few
strokes and serve at dinner.  Great with a steak and salad.  From The
