Units Scale
  • 130g self-raising flour
  • 130g caster sugar
  • 130g butter or margarine
  • 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 60g fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 90g white chocolate
  • 250g unsalted butter
  • 500g icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 175°C/350°F/gas mark 5 and place appropriate number of muffin cases in a muffin tray.
  2. Measure out butter and sugar into same bowl and cream together until well mixed and turns lighter in colour.

  13. Carefully add icing sugar to avoid clouds of icing dust.
