Basic Muffin Recipe

Recipe submitted by Fuss Free Flavours

Desserts
Preparation Time: 5 mins
Cooking Time: 25 mins
Serves: 2-3

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients

5oz plain flour
1.5oz sugar
pinch salt
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
(For savoury muffins use 6oz of flour and omit the sugar)

Mix well together. Some recipes will say sift, personally I simply do not bother as I find it makes no difference, and my cooking is about being fuss free.

Wet Ingredients
1 egg
2oz sunflower/rape seed oil
4oz milk / plain yogurt or a mixture
Whisked Together

Method


Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold them in, it should take no more than 12 folds, the mixture should be lumpy and bumpy. Any extra mixing will cause the gluten to overdevelop in the batter and result in muffins with tunnels in them.

Using a spoon transfer batter into muffins cases or a lightly oiled silicon mould

Bake at GM4 to 5/180-190C for around 20 to 25 minutes depending on your oven until the muffins are risen and golden and then let them stand for a few minutes, quickly run a knife round each one and turn out to cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy.
