Here’s one for starters – Chocolate Chip Muffin.

1. Butter/Margarine – 115gm/4oz @ room temp
2. Caster Sugar – 70gm/2.5oz
3. Dark Brown sugar – 30gm/1oz
4. Eggs – 2 @ room temp
5. Plain Flour – 215gm/7.5oz
6. Baking Powder – 1 tsp
7. Milk – 125ml/4floz
8. Plain Chocolate Chips – 170gm/6oz

Preheat the oven to 375F/190C, 10 minutes before baking. Grease 10 – 12 muffin cups or use paper cases. With an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft. Add both sugars and beat until light & fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Sift together the flour & baking powder, twice. Fold into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.

Divide half the mixture between the muffin cups. Sprinkle several chocolate chips on top, then cover with a spoonful of the batter. To ensure even baking, half fill any empty cups with water. Bake until lightly coloured, about 25 minutes. let stand 5 minutes before turning out.

Note: It can be stored in an air tight container @ room temperature upto 3 days.
