Total time: 40 mins


Ingredients
  • 100 g butter, softened
  • 75 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 275 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 225 ml milk
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • seeds of ½ vanilla bean or ½ tsp vanilla paste
  • 200 g berries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or cherries
Cooking method
  1. Heat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tray with muffin paper cases. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, lemon zest.
  2. In a large bowl beat eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Quickly but gently stir with a silicone spatula until combined. The batter should not have an even structure. It is important not to over-mix it.
  3. With a spoon or pastry bag, fill muffin cases two-thirds full. Put the berries on top with a spoon in muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the muffins rise and become golden brown. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tray for a few minutes. Then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve the muffins warm.
My tips and tricks
If you don't have muffin paper cases, but only a muffin metal tray, then before pouring the batter into the tray, butter it. But remember that using paper forms will make your muffins easier to take out.
