• Medium eggs2
• Vegetable oil125 ml
• Semi-skimmed milk250 ml
• Golden caster sugar250 g
• Self-raising flour (or plain flour plus 3 tsp baking powder)400 g
• Salt1 tsp
• Chocolate chips or dried fruitOptional100 g

1. 1

   Set the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and put paper cases in 2 muffin trays. Lightly beat the eggs with a hand mixer in a large bowl for 1 minute.

2. 2

   Pour in the oil and milk and mix until just combined, then add the sugar and whisk to a smooth batter.

3. 3

   Sift in the flour and salt (or plain flour and baking powder, if using) and mix only until smooth; overmixing makes tough muffins.

4. 4

   Mix through any chocolate chips or dried fruit you are using.

5. 5

   Spoon into the cases until they are two-thirds full, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until risen, springy when touched and a skewer comes out clean. Should the two trays not fit on one shelf, swap their positions after 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the muffins sit in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a rack and let them cool fully.
