From The Muffin Bible published by Penguin Books.. The custard powder could be substituted for some extra vanilla. When I make these with rhubard or pear, I add 1 tsp ground cardamom to the dry ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons custard powder
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup butter, melted and cool
1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated
1 1/2 cups blueberries or 1 1/2 cups raspberries
1/4 teaspoon sugar, for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375F).
2. Sift together flour, baking powder and custard powder in a bowl. Stir in 1 cup sugar.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk, cooled melted butter and lemon peel.
4. Add milk mixture to the dry ingredients.
5. Line muffins tins with paper liners. Put a few berries in the bottom of each muffin tin. Spoon batter over berries to 3/4 full. Put a few more berries on top. I poke then in a bit.
6. Sprinkle over sugar. This gives a crunchy top.
7. Bake 15-20 minutes.
