TEENY WEENY MUFFINS

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5. Place truffle-sized paper cases inside mini muffin trays.
• Sift together the dry ingredients twice, in a large bowl.
• In a bowl, beat together the oil, sugar, eggs, orange juice and milk.
• Stir in the chocolate strands, then lightly and quickly add the flour mixture. Use a teaspoon to fill the cases almost to the top.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15 minutes in batches. Test by inserting a toothpick into the centre to check it comes out clean.
• Make a sugar glaze by heating the sugar and water together in a small pan until the sugar melts.
• Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes in the tin, then carefully lift out the paper cases onto a wire rack.
• Brush sugar glaze quickly over the top of each muffin. Sprinkle with hundreds and thousands, dragees or chocolate strands on top.
