2. Alternate mixing in the flour mixture and milk in thirds; start and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined and batter is not dry (do not over mix!). Batter will be thick. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into prepared muffin trays lined with muffin cups (or grease the tray with cooking spray); muffin cups should be nearly filled to the top with about 1/4 of an inch remaining (this will make great muffin tops).

Bake for 20-23 minutes just until muffins are golden. Remove and let cool.
