We used to be able to buy this packaged mix in the grocery store, but it's no longer available. I use it as a base for many tasty varieties of muffins. Thank goodness Washington Flour posted it on their website. I usually bake these for 15 minutes and when I make the varieties, the yield is usually 6 muffins.
1 cup Washington Self-Rising Flour
2 & 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp. oil
1/3 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine all dry ingredients in mixing bowl and mix together with wire whip or spatula. Add oil, egg and milk and mix with wire whip or spatula just until batter is uniform. Pour batter into greased muffin cups filling about 3/4 full. Bake 15-17 minutes. Makes about 5 muffins.
Variations:
Chocolate Chip Banana
Add one ripe mashed banana and 1/3 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips to the mix.
Orange Apple Cinnamon
Substitute orange juice for the milk. Add a large dollop of applesauce, a sprinkling of orange peel and 1/3 cup cinnamon chips (I buy mine from King Arthur Flour).
Blueberry
Add about 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and a bit more sugar to taste.
Lemon Poppy Seed
Add 1 tsp. lemon extract and one tsp. lemon peel (more, if preferred, to suit your taste). Sprinkle in some poppy seeds. When finished baking and while muffins are in pan, brush a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and sugar over hot muffins with a pastry brush, letting mixture soak in before serving.
