Blackberry and lime café-style muffins

Method

1. Preheat

   Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced. Line a 6-hole Texas muffin pan with large patty pan cases.

2. Batter

   In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt). In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients (eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, sour cream, buttermilk, and lime juice) until combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold through lime zest and blackberries cut into halves.

3. Baking

   Use a large spoon to dollop the mixture into the patty pan cases, filling them three-quarters of the way. Fill them more than you normally would as this creates the signature café-style muffin top. Place an extra blackberry on top of each muffin and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until lightly golden brown or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tray.

4. Frosting

   Mix the frosting ingredients together, place in a piping bag and pipe frosting onto muffins. Top with half a blackberry and enjoy.

5. Handy hint

   Batter may make up to 8 large muffins depending on how much you fill the cases.
