Ingredients

175g of unsalted butter, softened + 60g extra for the buttercream

175g of caster sugar

1 lemon, zested

3 eggs

200g of self-raising flour

150g of blueberries

250g of icing sugar (for the buttercream)

Method

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C (Fan) and line your muffin tray with cases.

Step 2

In the mixing bowl, cream together the 175g of butter and caster sugar with the electric hand whisk. Add the eggs and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Add in the flour and the lemon zest and mix until smooth, before stirring through the blueberries.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly across the lined muffin tin, then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the muffins are golden and springy to touch in the centre.

Step 5

Whilst the muffins are baking, make the buttercream by mixing the 60g of butter, icing sugar and juice of the lemon until smooth.

Step 6

Once the muffins have cooled, ice them with the buttercream and top with more fresh blueberries.
