1 stick of margarine of butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

I have to do this recipe for my challenge class for 4-H. So I wanted to do it first for this.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease the bottoms of muffin cups in a 12-cup pan.
2. In a small bowl, cover butter or margarine with waxed paper and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds( or until melted ). Let the margarine cool 5 minutes.
3. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and then add the butter and milk. Beat mixture with a fork until mixed well.
4. In a seperate, medium bowl, mix together all the '' dry'' ingredients: the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until mixed
5. Add the '' wet'' ingredients to the '' dry'' ingredients. Stir just until the flour is wet. The batter will be lumpy.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup until it is about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove muffins from the pan as soon as you take them out of the oven, so they won't get soggy. Cool muffins on a wire rack.

Hi my name is Madeline. I am 10 years old and I am doing a blog for 4-H. I am going to tell you some recipe's that I either made by myself or with my parents helping me in between.
I am going to give you the ingredients first and then I am going to tell you how to make it.
I LOVE sports. I am in dance classes in Charles City Iowa. I am in soccer and me and play all of the other sports together. I also am pretty good at singing. At the 4-H fair I would have gone to state for singing a solo at the fair but I couldn't go because it was my first year. I have sang in 3 nursing homes and I have sang a wedding. In December of 2005 I am going to sing at another wedding with my sister. I am really excited and I hope you enjoy the rest of it.
