We managed to buy some bargain blueberries from the shop tonight – a big punnet reduced to 65p. I was planning to use them to make something exotic and different but in the end we just made plain old boring muffins!
All you need to recreate my delicious little muffins is:
75g butter (softened)
75g sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, beaten
200g plain flour
125ml milk
100g blueberries
75g sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, beaten
200g plain flour
125ml milk
100g blueberries
Gradually add the sugar and the egg to the butter
Mix 1 tablespoon flour with the blueberries and put to one side.
Sift the remaining flour together with the baking powder.
Fold the flour and baking powder into the butter, sugar and egg mixture.
The mixture doesn’t need to be super smooth as the lumps are supposed to help the muffins rise (allegedly;-))
Stir in the milk.
Mix in the blueberries.
Bake in greased muffin tins at 200 c for 25 minutes (ish)

They turned out more like cakes than muffins but absolutely declicious – especially when they’re still warm.
We also made some chocolate crispie cakes at the same time so we’re sat here stuffing our faces with cakes.
