1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Incorporate the egg and almond extract.
Mix in the flour mixture gradually, alternating with the milk.
Fold in the almond slices.
Fill each muffin liner two-thirds full with the batter.
