2-1/2 c All-purpose flour

1/4 c Sugar

1-1/2 T Baking powder

1/4 t Sa;t

1/4 lb Plus 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 c Cold milk

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well, breaking up any

lumps. Work the butter in by hand until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, making

sure no lumps are left. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing just until dry ingredients are

moistened. DO NOT OVERBEAT. Spoon the batter into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at

350F until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. The finished muffins should have a thick

crust with a cakelike centre. From Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen
