“The best place to shop for ingredients is at the liquor mart. If you want to try a slight variation, try leaving out the whiskey and milk and just adding a cup of Baileys® instead. It's really good.” - by Javell

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)

"These muffins have a nice taste, but I would change the name to 'Basic Breakfast Muffins'. They are plain muffins, and the Bailey's & whiskey taste are not detected at all after baking...." See more"
