For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of shortening. Add a cup of chopped nuts, raisins, or other dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. The batter will be quite thick, this is normal. Do not be tempted to add more liquid.
