Raspberry Muffins

Friday, May 28th, 2010

What is your favourite ingredient for baking muffins?

Do you prefer fruits, vegetables or something else?

We would appreciate if you would post your favourite ingredient in our comment section.

Makes 8 to 12 servings.

Today we had about 15° to 17°C (60° F) and an overcast sky. The ideal conditions to bake something for the teatime.

In our household we have the habit to have a teatime (with cocoa, tea or coffee and any cake / cookies) at about 4 a.m. when it is possible after we get home.

We normally stand up early in the morning. To have some caffeine / theobromine in the afternoon gives us some energy for the rest of the day.

Although the strawberry season started, we decided to use some frozen raspberries that were left over from garnishing ice cream.

Ingredients:
50g butter

1 egg
100 g flour
35 g sugar
2 teasp. vanilla sugar
1/2 teasp. baking powder

250 g raspberries, frozen
