Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe). For greasing muffin tins.)
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Sift these ingredients twice to ensure they are well combined and aerated.
- 2Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3Separate the egg. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolk. Add the yolk to the milk and molasses. Mix well.
- 4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter.
- 5Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease muffin tins with butter. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
