Basic Vanilla Muffins for Dinner (Not Sweet!)
"Good at dinner especially when served with highly spiced or flavorful main dishes. Similar in taste to a popover or cornbread minus the cornmeal. As one review has mentioned, these are *not* a sweet muffin. I usually serve them at dinner."

I have to laugh at these reviewers because it clearly says in the TITLE of the recipe "Not sweet." -
I love these so much. I used self raising instead of all purpose flour. -

I know that other reviewers didn't like these because they were not sweet enough, but they were exactly what I was looking for. I subbed buttermilk for the milk, added crumbled breakfast sausage and shredded cheddar cheese and served them for breakfast. They were PERFECT! -
Horrible. Should specify in recipe or title that these are NOT sweet muffins. Finally scrolled to the bottom to find the chefs tips AFTER I made them. Now I have some disappointed kids. Yuck!

Absolutely awful! I agree, had to add way more sugar. The batter ended up being too thick and doughy. Adding more milk did not help. Will try self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour if I try again. But I doubt it.

With the changes to the email notifications and removal of private messaging, I am no longer able to respond to questions about my recipes. Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
