Ingredients
150g butter
100g caster sugar
2 happy eggs
250g self raising flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
30g ginger, finely grated
120ml milk
Method
1
Mix the butter and caster sugar together until they form a creamy paste.
2
Add the happy eggs and beat with a whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy; this is the key to keeping the texture of your muffins light.
3
Gently fold in the flour, salt and spices. Add milk as required to keep the mixture moist.
4
Lightly oil your muffin moulds and pour the mixture in, right to the top. Place in a preheated oven at 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 for approximately 20 minutes.
5
To check whether they're cooked, the top of the muffins should spring back when lightly touched. Put them back in the oven for a couple of minutes if they're not quite ready.
6
For some fun, sprinkle with icing sugar and popping candy.
