65g/2½oz caster sugar
2 free-range eggs

Recipe tips

Method
Cream the butter and sugar together then slowly add the eggs, mix for three minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, stir to combine, then refrigerate for at least an hour, preferably overnight.

Place a spoonful of muffin mixture into each muffin case, filling each to just over halfway. Stud each muffin with about eight blueberries.

Bake in an oven set at 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 for 20 minutes, or until golden on top. Serve warm.
