Muffin Mix

I recently tried a muffin mix recipe. It comes from a cookbook I have had for years from a Nampa, ID ward. The muffins are so light and yummy. This is really handy to have on hand!

Muffin Mix

8 c. flour
3 c. sugar
3 Tbsp baking powder
3 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground nutmeg

Mix and store in an airtight container (fits perfect in a #10 can with lid). Write the following muffin recipe on the lid:

Melt in Your Mouth Muffins:

2 3/4 c. muffin mix

Mix and pour into greased (or lined) muffin pans. Makes 12. Bake at 400 degrees for 16 minutes.

Variations:
-add chocolate chips
