Pear and Ginger Muffins
Makes 12
Ingredients
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
150g caster sugar
75g light brown sugar, plus ½ tsp per muffin for sprinkling
1 tsp ground ginger
1 x 142ml pot sour cream
125ml vegetable oil
1 x 15ml tbsp honey
2 eggs (large)
1 large pear such as a Comice (or other fruit to give you about 300g in weight), peeled, cored and cut into 5mm dice
Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6 and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers.
Measure into a bowl the flour, baking powder, caster sugar, 75g of brown sugar and the ground ginger.
In a large measuring jug, whisk together the sour cream, oil, honey and eggs and then fold into the dry ingredients.
Lastly, mix in the diced pear, and divide the batter evenly between the muffin cases.
Sprinkle each one with ½ tsp of brown sugar and bake for 20 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. Best eaten while still a little warm.
