Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

I am delighted with how these Blueberry Muffins have turned out. They really are a delicious treat to be enjoyed with a cuppa when you can grab 5 minutes peace. As an aside, I'm quite pleased with the photograph too ! I never knew how difficult it was to capture in a photograph the aesthetics of cooking.

40g Plain White Flour
13g Soft Brown Sugar
25g Unsalted Butter

1. Blend ingredients in a processor, or mix together using fingertips, until it resembles a crumble-type mixture
