Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
