Garlic-Onion Dinner Muffins

Description: This muffin makes a perfect bread accompaniment for steaks and roast. The recipe comes from " A taste of Cuba" and was sent to me.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, diced

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. In a small bowl, mix together egg, milk, garlic and onion.
4. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture and melted butter.
5. Mix together using as few strokes as possible.
6. DO NOT OVER BEAT--the batter should have small lumps in it.
7. Pour into 12 paper-lined muffins tins, filling about 2/3 full.
8. Bake 20 minutes or until muffins begin to turn golden on top.
9. Test for doneness with a toothpick which should come out clean.
10. Remove from tins and cool slightly before serving.
