Studio One Muffins

Blue Berry buttermilk muffins I made whilst at Dunmoochin!
As kitchen equipment was only the bare necessities I experimented with using what I had.

4 tablespoons of melted butter
1 generous cup of frozen blueberries/any berry or banana or other fruit chopped into small chunks.

8. Bake in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until muffins are slightly brown and firm on top. Test with a skewer or press gently on top to see if muffins spring back.
9. Remove muffins from tin immediately and place of cooling rack.
10. Put on the jug and make a cup of your favorite tea, put a chair outside and enjoy!
11. Be careful of the native wild life they will try and poach your muffins when your back is turned.

Tips

If using self raising flour instead of plain flour no need to add baking powder!
For Muffins that are moist in the middle a with a nice firm top, combine the egg and liquid ingredients and let the mixture sit until the butter is almost solidified. Then stir a little more and add to the dry ingredients.
