Hello, today I'm back with a 'Sunday baking' post as I've made a little treat and thought to share it with you. Today, we are baking plain muffins. The recipe is very simple, which makes it very easy for anyone to do so... let's get baking!
Ingredients-
You will need:
4 1/2 oz caster sugar,
4 1/2 oz self-raising flour,
4 1/2 oz butter/margarine,
1/2 teaspoon baking powder,
2 large eggs
Before you begin the baking, you need to set your oven to 160 degrees Celsius and line your muffin tins with cases. After you've done so, you'll need to weigh out your ingredients to the right measurements. Once everything is weighed out correctly the very simple after that.
You'll then need to add your butter/margarine and sugar together in a bowl and mix them together until light and fluffy. Once, the mixture is at this consistency you need to add in your self-raising flour one bit at a time while mixing to ensure the flour doesn't go up in clouds. Once these are mixed together, add your eggs and baking powder into the bowl and mix all of the ingredients together.
Now, you can evenly scoop the mixture into the cases you arranged earlier. You can now bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they are light and airy.
When your muffins have been taken out of the oven be sure to prod a knife into the centre to see if they're cooked. A clean knife means they are! Leave your creations to cool for around 15 minutes.
After cooling, you can either leave them plain like I did and eat them warm with a lovely cup of tee or you can decorate them any way you wish. I was really happy with my outcome. They tasted beautiful and they were so light and fluffy - perfect texture.
Thankyou for reading,
