Muffins
Makes 12 large muffins
50 g margarine
2 eggs
170 g sugar
180 g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
Melt the margarine in a saucepan. Beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix the flour and baking powder together. Stir the mixture into the egg batter. Slowly stir in the margarine. Spoon the mixture into the forms, filling them to about 2/3 so they don’t bubble over. Bake in the middle of the oven at 200°C for about 12 minutes. Always test the cake by pushing a skewer into the centre – if ready, the skewer will come out clean.
Tips for filling 1: 150 g chocolate, broken into pieces, and 100 g Smarties. Stir the pieces of chocolate into the mixture and sprinkle the Smarties on top.
Tips for filling 2: Add the grated rind and the juice of an orange to the mixture.
