Recipe View 10 mins Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store leftover batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to six weeks.

For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of shortening.
Add a cup of chopped nuts, raisins, or other dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag.
The batter will be quite thick, this is normal. Do not be tempted to add more liquid.
