Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs
- 200 milliliters (6.8 fluid ounces) milk
- 85 grams (3 ounces) melted butter
Sweeteners:
- 145 grams (5.1 ounces) caster sugar
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 200C (fan 180C), ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a uniform base mixture.
- Separately whisk together liquid components until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently combine wet and dry mixtures, using a metal spoon to fold ingredients with minimal stirring.
- Incorporate additional elements like fresh berries or chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Carefully transfer mixture into muffin cases, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow proper rising.
- Place muffin tray in preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and springy texture.
- Remove from oven and transfer muffins to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to reach room temperature and set completely.
Notes
- Prevent overmixing when combining wet and dry ingredients to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Customize your muffins by adding different mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or alternative chocolate varieties.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter and more consistent texture.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with minimal crumbs.
