How To Make summer berry muffins
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use paper muffin liners to line a 9-cup muffin tray or coat with cooking spray.
-
Step 2Sift the flours, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Gently fold in the mixed berries.
-
Step 3Melt the margarine gently in a small saucepan, then add the sugar, egg and milk and mix until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together, mixing just until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
