Ingredients
- 2 eggs (medium)
- 200g caster sugar
- 250ml milk (semi-skimmed or whole)
- 125ml vegetable oil
- 400g plain flour
- 3tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- OR
- 400g self raising flour
- You will also need:
- A muffin tray
- Muffin paper cases
- NB: If you want to do chocolate flavoured muffins substitute 100g of flour for cocoa (DO NOT USE DRINKING CHOCOLATE)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat 2 medium eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min.
- Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml semi-skimmed milk and beat until just combined then add 250g golden caster sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Sift in 400g self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt (or 400g plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.
- Stir in 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
- Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking.
- Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
