Malteser Muffins

To make them you will need:

(makes 9)

150g caster sugar

150g unsalted butter

3 eggs

150g self raising flour, sifted 

grab bag of maltesers

Then you need to

Pre heat the oven to 180 oC/160 oC fan

Beat together the butter and sugar until soft and creamy

Add the beaten egg and flour and mix well

Remove about 40 maltesers from the bag and place in a bowl for later 

Carefully while holding the end of the bag shut, bash it with a rolling pin to roughly crush the malteasers

Add the crushed maltesers to the cake batter and stir through

Divide the cake mixture between your muffin cases

Place in the oven and cook for approx 20-25 minutes or until cooked (insert a knife into cakes, if it comes out clean the cakes are cooked, if not then return to oven for a couple more minutes)

Once cooked allow to cool thoroughly

Then make the chocolate buttercream 

50g unsalted butter at room temperature

25g milk chocolate melted and allowed to cool

Decorate with the leftover Maltesers (I placed 4 onto each muffin)

Thats it! 

Then simply enjoy :)
