used a basic muffin recipe
9oz plain flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (I didn't put this in)
3oz white granulated sugar (I put just slightly over half of this)
1 egg
8floz milk
3 fl oz corn oil or 3 oz butter, melted
Prepare muffin tins with liners or grease. Preheat oven to 375-400F?90-200C/Gas 5-6.
In a large bowl, sift together (or stir with fork) flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in sugar and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Stir in milk followed by oil/butter.
Pour all of the liquid ingredients into dry mixture. Stir until just combined, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as you stir. This mixing should only take about 30 seconds. The batter will be lumpy but no dry flour should be visable. (I added 2 grated apples and a punnet of blueberries at this point)
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, or to the top for larger muffins. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are lightly browned and spring back when pressed gently. Allow muffins to cool for several minutes to make removal easier. Best served warm
