surprise muffins

In case you are wondering why I have named these muffins as "surprise muffins", it is because when you bite into the muffins, you will get a surprise. Inside the muffins are something crunchy. What could it be?

I had added crushed cookies to the muffin batter. You can use any type of cookies you like but in this case, I used the balance of the Chinese New Year goodies which is locally known as "rope". It is so named because it is made in the shape of a rope. I used my fingers to crush the "rope" because I wanted the filling of the muffins to be tasted instead of blending into the muffin batter.

INGREDIENTS

220g self-raising flour
100g butter (softened)
100g castor sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
250ml milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup cookies (coarsely crushed)

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

2. Line the muffin pans with paper muffin cases. Set aside.

3. Sift the self-raising flour in a bowl. Set aside.

4. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

5. Add the egg and mix well.

6. Add the milk and vanilla essence and mix until blended.

7. Add the crushed cookies and fold in the flour mixture using a wooden spatula and stir until just combined. Do not over-stir.

8. Fill the muffin paper cases till about 3/4 full.

9. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
