Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C/350ºF/Gas mark 4
Grease a 12-hole muffin pan (We have a 6-hole silicone muffin pan that makes lovely large, tall muffins!) or insert paper muffin cases
Put the Stork/butter into a microwave-proof bowl or measuring jug and heat on a low setting for 20 seconds. Set aside to cool
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl
Add all but 2 tbsp of the caster sugar - this is being reserved to sprinkle over the muffin tops prior to going into the oven
In a small measuring jug, beat the egg a few times until the yolk & white is just combined
Whisk in the milk and melted Stork/butter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring quickly and gently until flour is just dampened
Gently fold in the redcurrants, being careful not to burst too many of them
Spoon the batter into prepared muffin , filling each slightly more than half full
Sprinkle the 2tbsp of reserved sugar over each muffin
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and an inserted skewer comes away clean
Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes prior to serving
Keep in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days
