Mini Cherry and Raisin Muffins

Hello there! This weekend, I made the most tiniest muffins ever. I found these really cute little paper cups and so decided to make a cherry and raisin variety for tea. It came out really handy as it wasn't as big as the normal size which I normally bake. Well for someone who wants to enjoy eating minus the guilt, it was rather gratifying!




Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup raisins, chopped
1/2 cup cherries, chopped

Method:

1. Preheat oven 190C
2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.
3. In a small bowl beat the egg with a fork. Stir in milk and butter.
4. Pour all at once into the middle of the flour mixture.
5. Mix quickly and lightly with the fork until moistened, but do not beat.
6. Lastly add in the raisins and cherries (lightly floured) to the batter. Do not worry if the batter is lumpy. DO NOT OVER BEAT.
7. Pour batter into paper lined moulds.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Have a hand at it and you'll surely agree with me that these sized muffins are good especially for those of you who want to go on a so called diet. But PLEASE don't fall into the trap of eating double servers!

Cheers!
