We made the most delicious blueberry muffins today. It’s a recipe that I have made before but this time I used frozen blueberries instead of dried blueberries. They are so yummy and a real taste of summer, as the berries burst in your mouth. The muffins are not overly sugary to taste.
I know that there are many muffin recipes out there, and this one is not unique, but I thought I would share it anyway. Here’s the recipe.
I cooked it in the Aga so I have not tested it in a regular oven, but most recipes I’ve seen require an oven temperature of 350f.
Ingredients
450g/1 lb plain flour
175g/6oz caster sugar
pinch salt
4tsp baking powder
2 beaten eggs
100ml/4floz oil, I used olive oil as I had nothing lighter in the cupboard
225ml/8 floz milk
225g/8oz frozen blueberries
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the rest in another bowl.
Lightly mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients, but don’t overdo it!
Spoon ingredients into 12 paper cases in a muffin tray.
(For a two door Aga, put the tray on the runners third down from the top in the roasting oven.)
Bake for 15-20 mins, until muffins are risen and firm to the touch.
Try and cool on a wire rack, but who can resist tasting them when they are warm.
On a green living note, I managed to get two loads of washing onto the washing line. For the first time this year they dried completely on the line and I have not used my tumble dryer today. Yah!
