Basic vanilla muffins

This is a great basic recipe to get the kids started on baking - and decorating.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups self raising flour
  • 1 cup of butter
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup of water
  • vanilla essence to taste

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and then add whatever you like to make your muffins special.

Pour into muffin cases and cook for 10 minutes in a moderate oven.

Flavour options:

  • To make apple and banana, all you do is cut up about 5 apples put them in some hot boiling water with a little brown sugar Wait about 5mins drain them and let them cool Add to your muffin mix. Cut up some banana and add to ingredients. The fruit stays moist and keeps its flavour.
  • Or try rasberries and white chocolate: Make your mix,add your rasberries and all I did was buy a block of Cadbury Dream, smashed it into pieces and added that to the mix.
