Blackberry Muffins
Makes 8
225g white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 level tablespoon baking powder
140g caster sugar
85g butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
170ml milk
125g blackberries
1 well greased muffin tray
Preheat the oven at 200°C. Sieve the flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl. Stir in the sugar. Rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs. Combine the beaten egg, vanilla essence and milk and add to the dry mixture. Combine with a fork to give a wet consistency. Fold in the blackberries gently. Spoon into the muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until well-risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack and dust with icing sugar.
