Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

What else is there to do on a rainy Sunday, other than bake? These are my favourite muffins, I've been making them for years. They're from a book called 'Muffins Galore.'

Ingredients

250g self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

110g caster sugar

1 egg

225g milk

85g melted butter

2 tsp cinnamon

75g soft brown sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170. Line a muffin tray with paper cases. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside. 

2. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk and butter and combine. 

3. Put a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each paper case. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and spoon over more mixture, then more sugar etc. Finish with a layer of batter and then use a fine skewer to swirl the mixture to create a marbled effect.

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Leave to cool and then turn out onto a wire rack. 

Ta da!

I used the paper cases my colleague got me for my birthday. They look very coffee-shop-esque and are absolutely delicious! X Bo
