I fancied making more muffins today, wasn’t quite sure what ones I wanted to make, so had a look through the book that I made the blueberry muffins out of yesterday..
Scanning through the index under muffins I came across Christmas Morning Muffins, turned to the page they were on, scanned through the ingredients… yep had everything, so I made them.. yes I know its not christmas, but they sounded delicious 🙂
Here is the recipe and a picture of how they turned out …..
for the muffins:
-
200g plain flour
-
3 teaspoons baking powder
-
half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
-
75g demerara sugar
-
good grating of fresh nutmeg
-
1 clementine or small orange
-
approx 50ml milk
-
60g unsalted butter, melted
-
1 large egg
-
150g dried cranberries
-
12 bun muffin tin with papers
For the topping :
-
2 teaspoons demerara sugar
-
half a teaspoon cinnamon.
Method:
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C / gas mark 6
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, bicard and sugar, and grate over a generous amount of fresh nutmeg.
-
Squeeze the orange or clementine juice into a measuring jug, then pour in milk on top until it comes up to the 150ml mark
-
Add the melted butter and the egg and beat to combine.
-
Pour the jug of liquid ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are more or less combined, remembering that a lumpy batter makes light muffins.
-
Last of all, lightly fold in the cranberries and fill the muffin cases.
-
Mix the demerara sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the muffins.
-
Stick them in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Makes 12
Option : when ready, break open, spread with butter and marmalade.
