Queen of Muffins

“These are so good and the secret’s in the mixing! I copied this recipe as a bride from Grandma Cameron’s ‘Bastan Cooking School Cookbook.’ Sometimes for Sunday morning breakfast I add wild huckleberries from the mountains.” – Jean Hansen

“This is a nice base recipe that you can customize. Feel free to add a little cinnamon or nutmeg. I added 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit (chopped and rehydrated.)” – April Ferre
