DATE-NUT MUFFINS 
Muffins and Loaf Breads:

Never beat muffin batter; mix it only until dry ingredients and liquid are blended. The mixture may look rough and lumpy, but baking will fix that. Grease muffin tins only on the bottom - not on the sides. Batter will then cling to the sides while baking, and better volume will result.

1 cup milk or diluted evaporated milk
2 cups flour
2 to 4 tbsps. shortening, melted
1 egg
3 tsps. baking powder
2 tbsps. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt

Sift flour; measure; add baking powder, salt and sugar. Sift again. Combine egg, milk, and melted shortening (slightly cooled). Pour into flour mixture and mix just enough to moisten. Bake.

Variation:

Add 1/2 cup chopped dates and 1/2 cup chopped nuts to dry ingredients.

Time, Temp and Yield:

20-25 minutes; 400°F; 12 to 15 medium sized
