Perk:

I use a heaping tablespoon of soy flour along with a tablespoon of water as an egg substitute. Usually cheaper and lower fat, and what sold me: non-perishable. It's not an uncommon substitute. Since I also use dry powdered milk, I always have muffin makings. Maybe it would ease your egginess?

Re: Basic muffin recipie

Two recipes, my Mom's, and another I use. Different textures.

English Muffin recipe - #1

1 1/2 c. warm water
1 pkg. yeast
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. dry milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, well beaten
3 Tbsp. soft butter (or margargine...)
4 c. flour
cornmeal

In large bowl, combine water, yeast, sugar, and milk. Stir until yeast is dissolved. Add salt, egg, butter, and half the flour. Beat until dough is smooth. Add remaining flour to make a stiff dough.

Turn out onto a board and knead until very smooth (about 10 minutes). Add more flour if necessary. Return dough to a well buttered/greased/oiled bowl and turn to coat on all sides (this just keeps the dough from sticking to the bowl). Cover and let rise until double, about one hour, in a warm place.

Turn out onto slightly floured board. Don't knead. Pat gently, do not break air cells, to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 3" round cutter (i use a wide coffee mug). Dip each circle on both sides in cornmeal. Let rise until double. Bake slowly on an ungreased griddle or in an electric frypan at 340 degrees for about 7 minutes on each side (I use a regular skillet and just fry brown on both sides). Eat hot or cool. Split with a fork to toast. Makes 12 - 16.

Re: Basic muffin recipie

On another BBS I belong to, someone posted this recipe. They said it was 3 weight watcher's points per muffin.. makes 12 bigger sized muffins...

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree

Stir the two together (that is all that is in it) and bake in muffin tin according to directions... typically 25-35 mins on 350

Ooh, I think I'm gonna try this with Spice Cake mix. Yum!
I am so not a cook...can ya tell?!
