    12 Muffins

Ingredients

dry mix

  • 1 cup self raising flour wholemeal flour
  • 1 cup self raising white flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 small pinch salt

You'll Need

  • Multix large patty pans, we used pink polka dots for this recipe.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Line a 12 hole patty tin with Multix large paper patty pans. In one large bowl mix together all the dry mix ingredients.
  3. In another bowl thoroughly mix all the wet ingredients except the frozen raspberries. Transfer the wet and dry mixtures in the largest bowl. Stir well and when the two are totally combined, stir in the raspberries (so they don’t get too broken up).
  4. Divide the raspberry, pear and ginger batter between the 12 patty pans and top each one with a small slice of pear and a raspberry.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until well risen and golden and cooked through. Serve warm.
