Berry and Ricotta Muffins

[Phteven]

I made these yesterday. They are yummy!!

Ingredients

• 250g of berries (chop and hull strawberries) It doesn't matter what berries - anything in season or frozen
• 2.5 cups self raising flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 tsp melted butter - I use about 4 because I hate dry muffins but the recipe says 3
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup of ricotta
• demerara sugar to sprinkle
  

Heat oven to 180.
Sift or whisk flour and cinnamon in large bowl. Add sugar and stir to combine.
Place eggs, butter and milk in a bowl and whisk.
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Add 3/4 of ricotta and berries to mixture and stir in.
Fill 12 muffin cases and top each muffin with a dollop of ricotta and berries.
Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Oooh! I'm definately going to try those for my Bible study group! I love frozen raspberries! Thanks for the recipe.

do ya need the demerara sugar bit ??

[Phteven]

No, in fact if you're short on ricotta you could just use the 3/4 of a cup in the recipe and not bother with the dollop on top (it does look nice though).
You could dust with icing sugar after it's cooked as an alternative decorative idea.
