Step 1

Sift flour into a bowl and stir in sugar. Whisk together eggs, milk and butter. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Step 2

Add ingredients for preferred variation. Spoon the mixture into 12 buttered 1/2 cup capacity muffin pans and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan and cool slightly on a wire rack. Ice with Best Ever Frosting if desired, or serve warm with butter.

Step 3

Beat cream cheese and butter until light and creamy. Add icing sugar and lemon juice beating well until smooth. Ice each muffin with frosting.
