Another nod to the old films ... and this time the heiress in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang who captured the heart of the inventor Caractacus Potts! ( who remembers Toot Sweets?!) Sorry I digress, back to the job in hand!
So these muffins were' truly scrumptious' indeed! Sweet muffins are not something I’d normally put on the list of things I enjoy ... savoury with soup, yes I agree they work well but I’ve always found their opposite number a bit underwhelming and tasteless. However by adding the tart sharpness of tangy blackcurrants it’s a different story. Adding yoghurt to the mix as well as marg takes away the dryness you might usually associate with a muffin - the rosy pink batter looked beautiful swirled with the fruit.
Good just on their own to munch or great warmed as a pud as well! And they got the seal of approval from my little grandson too!
Grateful thanks to my fellow allotmenteer for giving me an overflowing box of blackcurrants in exchange for a marrow :)
The recipe is from the September issue of Kitchen Garden but I can't find a link so here it is ...
I've got a freezer full of blackcurrants so will certainly be trying this recipe out.
