Recipe



Sift flour into a bowl and stir in sugar. Whisk together eggs, milk and butter until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Add ingredients for preferred variation. Spoon the mixture into 12 buttered ½ cup capacity muffin pans and bake at 200°C (or 180°C fan forced) for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold with butter for spreading or iced with cream cheese frosting.

To make the cream cheese frosting:
Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth, gradually beat in the lemon juice and icing sugar.
