Judy's Easy Yeast Muffins 🥐✨

Get ready to brighten your mornings with these delightful yeast muffins! They’re easy to whip up and perfect for breakfast or as a warm snack throughout the day. The combination of self-rising flour and mayonnaise gives them a fluffy texture, while the yeast ensures they rise beautifully! Pair them with butter, jam, or your favorite spread for a satisfying bite! 🍯❤️

Ingredients

• For the muffin batter:

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup milk

• Yeast mixture:

  • 1 package of yeast (dissolved in ½ cup warm water)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and milk. Mix until just combined.

🥄 Tip: The mayonnaise acts as a fat substitute that helps keep the muffins moist. You can experiment with flavored mayonnaise for an unexpected twist!

2. Add the dissolved yeast mixture to the batter. Stir well until fully incorporated.

3. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. This resting time helps the yeast activate and gives the muffins a nice rise.

4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

5. Grease a muffin tin and fill each cup about halfway with the batter.

6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and have risen nicely.

7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

⏰ Baking Tip: Keep an eye on your muffins during the last few minutes of baking! If your oven runs hot, they might cook faster than expected.
