I used "soured" milk in this recipe, I made no other changes. Baked at 350*, these were done in just under 20 minutes. These muffins have a scone/biscuit kind of flavor. I split them in half and spread butter, then homemade blackberry jam in the middle. The boys ate almost all of them in one sitting. They loved them.

I'm glad I added raspberry jam in the middle and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top when I made this muffin coz it lacks of flavor. You might wanna try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence in the batter.

Good flavor, more biscuit-like than cake-like muffins but still very good. I would make them again but maybe add flavoring such as almond or lemon extract.

I have several recipes for variations of Sally Lunn bread. I never thought to make them into muffins. Thanks for the post, these were delicious!

This is very bland shortcake, even when I added the tablespoon of vanilla and a little extra sugar. I won't be making this one again.

A deliciously simple recipe. Adding 1 tbsp of vanilla extract adds just the right amount of sweetness to the dough. I added a tbsp of fruit preserves add they turned out perfect and delicious.
