Fruit Mince Muffins
Description
Fruit Mince Muffins use a simple mix of self-rising flour, caster sugar, milk, oil, and egg to create a light batter. The distinctive element is the fruit mince placed in the middle of each muffin, which provides bursts of rich, spiced fruit flavor. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the muffins to rise gently and bake evenly through. After baking, the tops are brushed with melted butter and rolled in sugar, creating a sweet, slightly crisp finish that contrasts with the soft inside.
The muffins can be baked in various sized muffin trays with paper cases to hold their shape during cooking. They cool well on a rack and make a good teatime snack or breakfast item. The method advises mixing the wet and dry ingredients just until combined to avoid toughness.
