Marmalade Muffins

marmalade-muffins

 The trick to fluffy muffins is to fold the wet and dry ingredients together as briefly as possible until just combined; don’t worry if the mixture still looks a little lumpy. These muffins are best served on the day they are made.

 Serves 12

Ingredients

  • 75g butter
  • 225g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ teasp. bread soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100g stone-ground wholemeal flour
  • 120ml milk
  • 5 tablesp. natural yoghurt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Finely grated rind of 1 orange
  • 100g marmalade

To Cook

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC (350ºF). Line a muffin tin with deep paper cases. Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave. Remove from the heat.

Sift the plain flour, baking powder, bread soda and salt into a bowl. Stir in the wholemeal flour. Beat together the milk, yoghurt, eggs, warm melted butter and orange rind. Make a well in the dried ingredients and stir in this mixture along with the marmalade.

Spoon the mixture equally into the paper cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Leave to cool for five minutes, then serve warm with a pot of hot coffee.

Cook’s Note:

If you don’t fancy using marmalade try making them with lemon curd instead.
