Ingredients 55 g melted butter 270 g sifted plain flour 1 tbsp baking powder The zest of a small orange 4 tspn of fresh orange juice 225 g of clean blueberries A pinch of salt 95 g caster sugar The juice & zest of 1 small lemon 1 tspn vanilla essence 240 ml milk 1 beaten medium egg Method • • • Preheat your oven to 220c/425f, then grease a 12 holed muffin tray. Melt butter in a saucepan, place the shifted flour, baking powder and salt into a clean bowl. Add the sugar, keeping back at least 2 tspns for making a glaze later. In another bowl, grate the zest of the orange and the lemon into the bowl. Squeeze all of the juice out of the lemon into the bowl, saving 3 tspns for the bun glaze, followed by 4 tspns of fresh orange juice, vanilla essence & milk. Slowly add in a beaten egg and mix in. Add the melted butter and mix that in. Add this mixture to the bowl which contains the flour and sugar in, and mix together, into a batter. Add the blueberries very carefully, and gently fold them into the mix. Spoon the mixture equally into the 12 holes in the muffin tray, and bake them in the oven for around 15 to 20 minutes. When baked, allow to cool on a rack, and then mix the remaining lemon juice, and sugar to make a glaze, and then spread a little of the glaze on each muffin. Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy!
