step 3
Spoon the mix evenly into the cases, being careful not to overfill.
step 4
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin. These muffins can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 month once completely cool. Defrost and dust with plenty of icing sugar before serving.
