BLOSSOM MUFFINS

Today in class I hosted ( together with my volunteering assistant Maureen Schenkel) Ist year medical students doing community placement , a requirement of their course . The students joined the regular class members . It was an amazing session . Robyn a long time class member offered to share her ingredients so the medical students could prepare Blossom Muffins. The students also assisted Robyn in preparing Robyn's Badami Gosht , an aromatic , spicy Indian lamb dish . BLOSSOM MUFFINS Preheat your oven to 180 deg C . In a large bowl cream together 125gm of butter /marg , 2 lightly beaten eggs , 1 cup of castor sugar and 1/2 packet of red jelly crystals . Beat until light and fluffy . Now add , beating to combine 1 and 1/2 cups of of self raising flour , along with 1/2 cup of milk . Continue to beat in 1/4 cup of red jam along with 1 dsp of vanilla essence . Divide the batter between cooking oil sprayed muffin trays , you should get enough batter for 18 muffins . Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into through the side of the miffin comes our clean . Remove from oven and cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely . Now ice and decorate . Well done Robyn your meals were perfect and thankyou for sharing your ingredients. I loved the interest and participation the medical students shared with us ..
