Blueberry muffins

Method

• step 1

  Sieve flower in a bowl, add baking powder, rub in butter with fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs

• step 2

  Stir in sugar and fruit/chocolate chips

• step 3

  In another bowl, measure out milk, add eggs, add vanilla essence and beat lightly

• step 4

  Make a well in the middle of the flower bowl and pout in the milky mixture. Fold the flour in all the way around, then stop when the mixture is just combined (don't worry if there are lumps of flour)

• step 5

  Spoon mixture into muffin cases (fill to around 3/4 of each case)

• step 6

  Cook for 20 minutes on gas mark 6. The muffins are ready when they are springy on top and a toothpick comes out clean when skewered.
