Peculiars

Ingredients

• 1 pint All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 1 pint Whole milk (Originally "sweet milk". Substituted with whole milk for modern preference.)
• as needed Butter

Instructions

1. 1Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth.
2. 2Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease "Gem" pans (muffin tins) with butter. Fill each cup about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
