Choc cherry muffins
A smooth combination of chocolate drops and cherries transforms tasty muffins into an irresistible treat for the family
Ingredients (Makes 6 large muffins)
Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into a large bowl, then stir gently until well mixed. Add the caster sugar, chocolate drops and cherries. Make a well in the centre of the mixture.
Mix together the egg, sour cream, milk and butter in a separate bowl, then pour into the well all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir until just mixed. Do not over beat – the mixture should be lumpy.
Spoon into the prepared muffin tin, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are firm.
Loosen the muffins from the tin with a flatbladed knife and transfer to a wire rack, then leave to cool before eating.
