Strawberries & Cream Muffins

Ingredients:

250g (9oz) self-raising flour
150g (5 1/2oz) caster sugar
rind of 1 orange
1 egg
75ml (2 1/2fl oz) sunflower oil
142ml (5fl oz) single cream
125ml (4fl oz) milk
150g (5 1/2oz) Fresh strawberries
icing sugar for dusting

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350?F.
Next sift the flour into a large bowl, taking care to remove all lumps. Roughly grate the rind of a whole orange then add the rind, together with the sugar, to the sieved flour.

Mix together the egg, oil, cream and milk, whisk with a fork, pour into the flour and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

Remove the hull from the strawberries and chop into small pieces, add these to the mixture and gently stir in.

Place muffin paper cases into a cake or muffin tin. Spoon the mixture into the cases so you will have enough for approximately 8 to 10 muffins.

Bake the muffin mixture for 20 to 25 minutes until well risen and golden. Dust with icing sugar to finish.
