  • Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Stir in nuts and vanilla. Do not over mix batter; it should not be completely smooth.

Notes

  • When adding liquid to flour mixture, stir only until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • If you do not have sufficient batter to fill every muffin cup, fill empty cups halfway with water so the pan doesn't warp.
  • To test the freshness, of baking powder, mix 1 tsp of baking powder with 1/3 cup hot water; if mixture does not foam, the powder is stale and should not be used.
