  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

ok as written these are awful, I am thinking to much baking powder or flour. They baked up nicely but the taste was not good. I baked only two to see this way. Then I added garlic, minced onion and pepper, these are still bland... wow... I would not make these again.

Fantastic! This is a base recipe for sure! After making these I believe this is a recipe that is very versatile to your personal changes of taste! It's very bland as is, so I needed to add garlic powder, onion powder,pepper, parmesan cheese and I used old cheddar cheese. These muffins baked a nice dome for their tops and they look so pretty and taste excellent! It's a keeper. Thx. N*R

These look great, but we do not care for the taste. I would have to doctor them quite a bit into something we would really enjoy. I have a feeling this would be a fun recipe to play with, but I don't like them as written.
