   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2 1/2   c            All-purpose flour
      1/4   c            Sugar
    1 1/2   tb           Baking powder
      1/4   ts           Sa -- t
      1/4   lb           Plus 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
    1       c            Cold milk
 
   In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and
   salt; mix well, breaking up any lumps.  Work the
   butter in by hand until the mixture resembles coarse
   cornmeal, making sure no lumps are left.  Gradually
   stir in the milk, mixing just until dry ingredients
   are moistened.  DO NOT OVERBEAT.  Spoon the batter
   into 12 greased muffin cups.  Bake at 350F until
   golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.  The finished
   muffins should have a thick crust with a cakelike
   centre. From Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen
