Strawberry-Lemon-Rosemary Muffins



Even if you don’t like the muffins, you’ll love the muffin cups. Haha…aren’t these lovely?
I was inspired to bake using the combo of strawberry, lemon and rosemary after reading dailydelicious’ blog. To me, it’s so English and it just makes me want to bake! I didn’t follow her recipe for the usual reason; I don’t have all the ingredients. ;p

The only disappointment was the rosemary. I thought the lovely smell would permeate my kitchen while the muffins were baking but I didn’t really smell anything. I guess I should add more of it next time, probably 1 tbsp instead of 1 tsp.


Ingredients:
Plain Flour (2 cups)
Baking Powder (3 tsp)
Salt (1/2 tsp)
Sugar (3/4 cup)
Egg (1)
Oil (1/4 cup)
Milk (1 cup)
Strawberries (1 cup or more, if you love the fruit)
Grated Lemon Rind (1 tbsp)
Fresh Rosemary (1 tsp-finely chopped)


Preheat oven at 190C


Method:
1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, mix egg, milk, oil, rosemary and lemon rind.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
4. Mix till combined.
5. Mix in the strawberries.
6. Spoon into the muffin cups and bake for 25min or until cooked.

that's why I baked it cos I had the same thought as you when I first saw the original recipe. for this batch that i baked, the strawberries are dominant in taste, so if i'd bake this again, i'll def increase the amount of lemon adn rosemary, esp the rosemary....
hey, you're the expert, so maybe you can perfect the recipe! :)
