Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/8 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar , sifted
  • 3 1/2 oz red currants

Directions:

  1. Grease muffin cups and place the in the freezer until use.
  2. Preheat oven (360°F, 180°C).
  3. In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and currants; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl beat the egg slightly. Add sugar, vegetable oil and buttermilk and mix thoroughly.
  5. Add flour-currant mixture and stir just until combined. Batter will be sticky.
  6. Divide batter equally among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Meanwhile prepare the meringue topping. Beat egg whites and salt with a mixer on high speed until foamy and soft peaks are formed, then gradually add powdered sugar and beat until meringue is stiff. At last fold in the currants carefully.
  8. When muffins are done, remove from oven. Spread the meringue topping on each muffin. Put the muffins back into the oven and let the meringue topping dry out for about 5 - 10 minutes. The meringue topping should be white or only slightly brown.
  9. Remove muffins from oven and let cool down in muffin cups for 5 - 10 minutes. Then remove the muffins from the cups and serve warm or let cool down completely.
  10. NOTE: You can replace red currants by black currants or other small berries.
