These Muffins arent to sweet and are nice warm with a slice of cheese. I love muffins :) Ingredients:
350 g plain flour |
25 g butter |
50 g dark muscovado sugar |
50 g pecans, chopped |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
284 ml sour cream |
1 egg, beaten |
3 apples |
2 -3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 200c/gas 6. Line a muffin tin with cases. In a small bowl, use your fingers to rub 50gs of the flour together with the butter to make fine crumbs.Stir through 1 tbsp sugar & the chopped pecans, then set aside.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda & a pinch of salt, then stir in the sugar & cinanamon & set aside. Coarsely grate 2 of the apples, then beat together with the soured cream egg & 2 tbsp milk. Make a well in the dried ingredients & quickly fold through the wet ingredients, adding a extra tbsp of milk if really dry. Dont over mix or your muffins will be tough.It doesnt matter if there are lumps of flour.
3. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases- they should be about two-thirds full -then sprinle over the pecan topping. Thinly slice the final apple, the poke slices into the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20 mins or until risen, golden & a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
