Basic Muffins
A basic fool proof recipe. Try lemon curd ones with 1 tablespoon added to the mix and 1 teaspoon in the middle of each one or try strawberry jam, or add 2 teaspoons of a suitable spice or 175g/7oz sultanas or dried fruits, try chocolate chip, or chopped white chocolate and fresh raspberry.
My favourite fresh blueberry and cinnamon.
