Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g (1 ¾ cups) self raising flour
  • 50 g (¼ cup) butter
  • 75 g (⅓ cup) caster sugar
  • 130 g (¾ cup) chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanila extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 ml (½ cup) milk

Method
 

Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C Fan / 390F and line a muffin tin with cases
    Mix all the dry ingredients together
    1. Measure out the flour, and butter. Cut the butter into small pieces and add them both to a large mixing bowl.
    2. Rub everything together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
    3. Add the baking powder, caster sugar and chocolate chips and give everything a good mix.
    Add the wet ingredients together
    1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then add to your mixing bowl.
    2. Measure the milk out and pour it into your mixing bowl along with the vanilla.
    Mix everything together
    1. Give it a good mix (just with some wooden spoons, or a spatula). Mix it just until the flour has been properly combined – it'll still be a bit lumpy but that's ok.
    Bake the chocolate chip muffins
    1. Spoon the muffin mixture into the cases. Use an icecream scoop if you have one – it gives you just the right amount and is a lot less messy! If you've got any chocolate chips left over sprinkle them on top of each muffin.
    2. Bake the choc chip muffins in the oven for around 20 minutes. The chocolate chip muffins are ready when they have risen, started to turn golden and a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean.
    3. Remove them from the oven and leave them in the tin to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin and leaving them to cool completely on a wire rack.
