Gluten-Free Recipes:
Apple & Sultana Muffins

 cake
These took a few goes before we got them right! Care must be taken to ensure no delays occur when preparing the mixture. So have everything ready to go before you start and make sure they go into the oven immediately.

Makes approx.12 muffins.

Ingredients:

100g rice flour 100g glutinous rice flour
150g Besan flour 50g brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder 3 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp Xantham Gum 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 large or 2 small apples (grated) 50g sultanas
2 eggs 150ml milk
2 - 3 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
75g butter or margarine (melted)  

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 200C.

Prepare a tray containing large paper or aluminium patty cases. I stand them in a muffin tray.

Mix together the flours, bicarb soda, baking powder, Xantham gum, cinnamon & sugar and sift into a large bowl.

Add the grated apple and sultans and mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, milk and vanilla essence. Mix in the lemon juice and then add the melted butter and mix thoroughly. This mixture will become quite thick - don't worry!

Gently add the egg and milk mixture into the flour and stir until just combined - DON'T OVERMIX! .
Immediately spoon the mixture into the paper cases to within 1cm from the top. The mixture should hold its shape.

Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cinnamon.

Note: A nice, tasty snack for the kids - both big and small.
