METHOD
Fruit muffins
- Line a 12 x ½ cup capacity muffin pan.
- Place the butter, sugar and vanilla paste in a saucepan on medium-high heat, induction setting 7, and leave to melt, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and leave to cool before adding buttermilk and eggs, beating well to combine.
- Sieve the flours and bi-carb soda into a large bowl. Add the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Stir through the fruit.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tray and place into the oven on shelf level 2. Select Fan Plus at 160°C and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar if desired.
Vanilla and raspberry whoopie pies
- Melt the butter, sugar and vanilla paste in a saucepan on medium-high heat, induction setting 7, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Add the buttermilk and eggs to the melted butter mixture and beat well to combine.
- Sieve the flours and bi-carb soda into a large bowl. Fold in the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1 cm round nozzle and pipe 30 circles of mixture onto silicone or baking paper lined oven trays, approximately 5 cm diameter.
- Place the trays into the oven on shelf levels 2 and 4. Select Fan Plus at 160°C and bake for 12 minutes, or until they spring back when touched. Cool completely on the trays.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the raspberries and butter until smooth. Add the icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice, and beat on low speed to combine. Add a little milk, if needed, to create a smooth buttercream.
- Turn half the whoopie pie tops to flat side up and pipe or spoon a generous dollop of buttercream. Place the remaining muffin tops on the butter cream and gently press.
Hints and tips
- Use any leftover fruit for the muffin recipe: banana, blackberries, cooked apple, pears etc.
- Whoopie pies are an American treat where two flat cakes are sandwiched together. They are the official treat of Maine.
