going back to school is so hard after you have had such a fun past few weeks of summer. That is why I decided to make some muffins so that after school I can just sit with these lovely treats before getting on with my work. The cakes turned out a delight and below is the recipe for my twist on Chocolate chip muffins.
Ingredients:(makes 12)
-250g of self raising flour
-a pinch of salt
-1 teaspoon of baking powder
-50g of butter
-75g of caster sugar (brown sugar also works)
-100g of butterscotch drops (can be bought from most big supermarkets)
-2 eggs
-2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
-250ml of milk
-12 muffin cases
Method:
1. Put a paper case into each hole of a cupcake tin
2. Sift the self raising flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl
3. Turn the oven to 200'c (gas mark 6)
4.Cut the butter into chunks and ad it to the mixture (DON'T MELT THE BUTTER)
5. Rub the butter into the flour so it looks like breadcrumbs
6. Add the sugar and 3/4 of the butterscotch drops
7. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon
8. Break the eggs into a SEPARATE bowl and stir them hard with a fork
9. Add the vanilla and milk and stir everything well
10. Pour the egg mixture into the flour
11. Mix everything together, ( the mixture may be a little lumpy)
12. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases to the top and sprinkle the rest of the butterscotch on top
13. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes until they have risen
14. Leave them to cool for about 5 minutes and then eat them fresh or put them in a tin for later. (they must be eaten within 3 days unless frozen)
