White chocolate strawberry muffin


I've never baked with white chocolate before and when I saw some leftover white chocolate in the fridge, thought it best to mix in with my muffins.  I was curious as to how they would turn out, especially the colour.










These are easy to make and taste just yummy with tangy berries and bits of white chocolate.

Recipe for White chocolate strawberry muffin

Ingredients
  • 300 gm self-raising flour  
  • 150 gm caster sugar
  • 100 gm white chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 200 gm strawberries, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 250 ml milk
  • 1/2  cup canola oil
  • 2  tsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
Method
  1. Whisk lemon juice, milk, oil and egg in a bowl till well combined.
  2. Sift flour with salt, mix in sugar and white chocolate.  Stir to combine.
  3. Add in the chopped strawberries.
  4. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture.  Stop stirring once the ingredients are combined.  Do not overmix.  Batter should be wet and lumpy.
  5. Scoop batter into patty tins lined with paper cups, level the surface.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C for 20 to 25 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  8. Serve warm
  9. Makes 12
Note:  If using 300 gm plain flour, add in 4 tsp baking powder, sift together.
           These muffins are at their best on the day they're baked.

    Yum! Love white chocolate and berries in muffins. Never tried strawberries though, always use raspberries :-)

    cheah, they look so moist and i love the colours? do you find them sweet? i once baked white choc cookies, maybe it's the sugar plus the white choc, they turned too sweet for me.

    No, they're just nice, because the strawberries were on the sourish side. The white chocs did blend well with the strawberries. Moreover, there's the addition of lemon juice.

Braised pork tendons with pork belly ~ 红烧猪筋

 Pork tendons are a great source of protein which is essential for muscle repair, tissue regeneration and overall bodily functions. High in collagen and glucosamine and chondroitin they help to support joint and skin health and muscle maintenance. Low in fat, rich in carbohydrates and trace elements, they have nutritional characteristics of high calcium, high protein and no cholesterol.  Tasteless by nature like sea cucumber, and being tough they need to be slow cooked like braising and simmering to make them tender and release their collagen like in stews to create a rich flavour.
