Freezing Muffins

Firstly ensure that you cool the muffins completely by transferring them onto a wire rack to cool. When completely cool, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and then place into freezer bags. Make sure to squeeze out any air. This will help prevent freezer burn and dryness.

Thaw Frozen Muffins

Muffins can be thawed at room temperature, if not going to be eaten right away. Alternatively, place the muffin on a napkin or microwave-safe paper plate. Heat on high for approximately 20-30 seconds. Stopping halfway through to check that it is thawing. Do one muffin at a time.

Ham, Cheese and Paprika Savoury Muffins

Start by sifting the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, paprika. Rub in the butter using your fingertips. Set that aside and whisk together in a separate bowl the milk, egg and lemon juice. Next, add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure not to over mix. Finish by stirring in the ham, grated cheese and freshly chopped parsley until incorporated.

Gently drop the batter into the muffin holes.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes until cooked.

Until next time!
