This is a truly american recipe. Vary the flavourings according to what is in the store cupboard. They are good for breakfast made with wholemeal flour and served with butter and honey. Use traditional deep muffin tins or smaller english bun tins. I have used teacup measures accuracy is not important.

Makes about 6 muffins
