To make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm muffins
Notes
Do not overmix the batter.
The amount of flour is very important, so don’t scoop the flour with a cup, because that way the flour will compact and there will be more than necessary and the muffins will be dry. Pour the flour into the cup with a spoon and level the top with a knife or simply use a kitchen scale and measure in grams.
