  5. Slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg mixture, using a fork to mix in a clockwise motion.

Notes
If you’re feeding them to kiddos like moi, I suggest leaving them just barely sweetened as written in the recipe. Trying to trick adults? You may need a little extra sweet stuff to appease their sugar-lovin’ palate. 1-3 tablespoons of brown sugar should do the trick! I actually prefer the muffins as written above [with just a kiss of maple syrup] and will sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on softened butter as a spread if I'm in the mood for a little extra sweetness. Anything goes!
