In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. combine the egg, milk and oil. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened; batter should be lumpy. Grease muffin tins or line with paper liners. If desired, make crunch topping; mix all ingredients until crumbly and scatter on top of muffins. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or till golden. Makes 12 muffins.
