Albino Chocolate Chip Muffins
Here's a quick little recipe for chocolate chip muffins from Sweet Loretta, my wife (& head baker at the Chef From Hell Kitchen). The muffins in the first batch she made had tops that were really white looking so I immediately said, "Oh! Albino muffins! My favorite!" Sadly, subsequent batches of these tasty munchables looked normal and the muffins no longer had a ghostly hue. Heck, I'm keeping the name anyway. Hoo Hah!
Ingredients:
2 cups White Flour
3 TBS Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1/2 cup White Sugar
1 stick unsalted Butter
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 large Egg
1 cup Sour Cream
3/4 cup mini semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Cooking Procedure:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Grease muffin tins (use mini muffin tins if you have them)
Sift together the flour, salt & baking powder
Set this aside
Cream the butter & sugar together until light & fluffy
Add the egg & vanilla extract
Mix well
Add the sifted flour mixture
Blend well
Add the sour cream & mix well
Stir in the chocolate chips
Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with muffin batter
Place muffins in the oven & bake for 10 to 15 minutes-- until the muffin tops spring back when lightly pressed with a finger
Place the muffins on a counter to cool
Note: Be sure you wait until the muffins have cooled before removing the muffins from their tins

hey try this muffin recipe!
* 2 cups Flour
* 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
* 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon Salt
* 1/2 cup Caster Sugar
* 100 grams Melted Butter
* 1 cup Milk
* 1 Egg, lightly beaten
* 2 cups Frozen Mixed Berries
* 2 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
* 2 tablespoons Demerara Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Sieve all dry ingredients into a large bowl. Mix wet ingredients, excluding the frozen berries, together with a wooden spoon. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix in the frozen berries, making sure you do not over-mix. It doesn't matter if some of the dry ingredients aren't quite stirred through. Either grease a texas muffin tin (capacity 6) or place muffin cases into tin and drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the tin and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar topping (if desired). Cook in a 200C oven (180C fan-forced) for 15-20 minutes. Test with a skewer to ensure muffins are cooked.
