METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a large 6-holed muffin tray with large muffin liners.*Chef’s Tip: A 12-holed muffin tin can be used instead to make 12 medium-sized muffins.

2. In a mixing bowl, sieve the White Star Super Maize Meal, self-raising flour and salt, if using. Stir in the yoghurt and oil.*Chef’s Tip: Alternatively substitute the yoghurt for amasi.

3. Add your chosen flavour’s ingredients to the muffin batter and stir until well combined.

4. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop 3-4 scoops of batter into each muffin liner. *Chef’s Tip: Dip your scoop into warm water to make filling the muffin liners easier.

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until risen and golden brown. They are cooked through if a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

6. Serve warm with a generous spread of butter and ENJOY!
