Blueberry Muffins

Soft, bakery-style muffins bursting with blueberries. Makes 8.

Ingredients

• 250 g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 120 g caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 200 ml milk
• 80 g butter
• 150 g blueberries

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan) and line a muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat, then set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.
4. Whisk the egg, milk and melted butter together in a jug.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine, as overmixing makes the muffins tough.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
7. Divide the mixture between the cases. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until risen and golden and a skewer comes out clean.
8. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
