BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas 6. Grease a muffin tin.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until blended.
• Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla and lemon rind to the eggs, and stir thoroughly to combine.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. With a large metal spoon, stir until the flour is just moistened, but not smooth.
• Add the blueberries to the muffin mixture and gently fold in, being careful not to crush the berries.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin tin or paper cases, leaving enough room for the muffins to rise.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched lightly. Leave the muffins in the tin, if using, for 5 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack to cool a little before serving.
