Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup or half a stick) melted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup raisins (I omitted.)
- Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, beat together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and oil. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just moistened. Fold in the raisins.
- Fill each muffin cup about three-fourths full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
