Crafty Fridays: Cherry and White Chocolate Muffins

by Chronically Creative - Friday, May 11, 2012

I do bake some mighty fine muffins, if I do say so myself! My favourite ones to bake are these cherry and white chocolate muffins. They are my signature muffins. If I'm stuck for a last minute gift idea, or need to take a plate of food to a get together, these muffins never fail to disappoint.

As soon as I get them out of the oven, I'm stuffing my face with two or three- they are by far the best muffins I have ever tasted. I love that they are so simple and fast to make, and yet taste sensational.

Ingredients:

- 425g can stoneless black cherries, drained

- 75g unsalted butter, chopped

- 240g white eating chocolate

- 3/4 cup caster sugar

- 1/2 cup milk

- 1 egg lightly beaten

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups self raising flour

- icing sugar, to decorate

Method:

Melt butter in saucepan. Add half the chocolate with sugar. Stir over low heat until smooth. Remove. Whisk in milk, egg, vanilla and flour until just combined. Fold in cherries and remaining chocolate and cook in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Dust with icing sugar.
