Raspberry Muffins

These muffins are quite virtuous and also very nice so I implore you to make them. It includes buttermilk, which I was clueless about until a year ago. Let us all scoff at my ignorant past self, mwuahaha....



Ingredients:
300g plain flour                                                          1 tablespoon of baking powder                            
115g caster sugar                                                       1 egg                                                                    
250ml buttermilk                                                        60ml sunflower oil                                                 
150g raspberries

Method:
1 Preheat oven to 200 degrees centigrade and arrange 12 paper cases in deep muffin tins.
2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, stir in the sugar then make a well in the centre.
3. Mix the egg, buttermilk and sunflower oil together into a bowl, pour into the flour mixture and mix quickly until just combined.
4. Add the raspberries and lightly fold in with a metal spoon. Spoon the mixture into the cases.
5. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and firm in the centre. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
6. Scoff two at a time. And maybe store two in your cheeks like a hamster.
