TWIN MOUNTAIN MUFFINS
This is a basic muffin recipe that my mother used to make for us. I believe she got it from one of her old cookbooks, although I'm not sure. It's an easy recipe that is good for beginning bakers. It can be made less sweet to accompany savory meals (mom often served them with chili), or it can be made sweeter and fruit, such as blueberries, or other flavorings added to them. You can also adjust the amount of egg used. I like to make them with both eggs and about 2-4 T sugar.

Tips:
- To ensure even baking, use a standard muffin tin and muffin liners. If you don't use liners, grease the muffin cups thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Fill your muffin cups evenly. Overfilling can cause muffins to rise unevenly and overflow the cups.
- For tender, moist muffins, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Bake muffins in a preheated oven. This helps ensure even baking and prevents the muffins from sinking in the middle.
- Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
