Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and put 8 muffin cases in a muffin tray. Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl, add the melted butter, soured cream, eggs and lemon zest and beat just long enough to give a thick, smooth mixture – don’t over-beat. Carefully stir in the fruit and finally the sparkling water, until just evenly combined.

  • step 2

    Divide the mixture between the muffin cases – they should be nice and full. Sprinkle generously with the sugar and bake for 25-30 mins or until risen and golden. The muffins are best served just warm. Will keep fresh in an airtight container in a cool place for 1-2 days.

Can I use lemonade instead of sparkling water? Also oil instead of butter as find oil makes the muffins lighter.

These are definitely my go-to muffins. Blueberry & peach is great but have uses other fruit too. I would like to make some mini muffins for a toddler & mums group. Anybody made these as mini muffins?

Easy to follow, straight forward recipe. I made them with my 4yr old little boy. We just used a mixture of fresh Raspberries & Blueberries because that's what we had in and wanted to use up some sour cream. They turned out lovely and fluffy and not too sweet, we'll use this recipe again.

As I spooned mixture into cases I wondered why it was so dry... I forgot to add the sparkling water! However would you believe they were still ok to eat, not my best work but promising enough that I'll try again with all ingredients next time! Maybe 2 nectarines (I don't do peaches) is too many as I…
