notes

• Seasons may dictate what you put in these – sweetcorn kernels, grated courgette, frozen peas, other herbs, a tablespoon of chutney, or whatever. Get creative! - Here’s what Mum says about these muffins: “Spare a thought for the workmen outside your house repairing or fixing something. These muffins aren’t your usual light and fruity ones – they’re more solid and filling. I can assure you they are appreciated, particularly on cold, wet, miserable days.” I love my Mum’s generosity!
