The Best Ever Muffins

The Best Ever Muffins
From my MIL. These are like the breakfast cake, only in muffin form - they don’t take as long.

1 ¾ c. flour
¼ c. sugar
2 ½ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
1 well beaten egg
¾ c. Milk
1/3 c. Oil

Sift dry ingredients into a medium bowl; make well in the center. Combine egg, milk and oil. Add at once to dry ingredients. Stir quickly ’til moistened. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full.

Topping:
¼ c. brown sugar
¼ c. walnuts (optional)
1 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. melted butter
Mix together and sprinkle over muffins.
Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.
