• preheat an oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.


• sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. in a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla.


• pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed (the batter will not be smooth). gently stir in fruit, if desired (see cook's note).


• scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins; fill the cups almost to the top. bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
