Ingredients- 1 large fresh egg
- 70g granulated sugar
- 3g fine salt
- 50ml milk, at room temperature
- 1 tsp lemon juice (for brightness)
- 120g cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 60ml vegetable oil (like canola or grapeseed oil)
- 3g baking powder
- 70g raisins (adjust quantity to your preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, crack the fresh egg. Add the granulated sugar and fine salt. Whisk everything together using a whisk or electric mixer until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, pour in the room temperature milk, lemon juice for a touch of brightness, and vegetable oil. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined into a smooth mixture.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Sifting helps to aerate the flour and prevent lumps, ensuring a lighter and more tender muffin texture. Add these sifted dry ingredients to the bowl containing the wet ingredients.
Step 3
Gently fold in the raisins into the batter. For extra moisture, you can briefly soak the raisins in warm water, then drain them thoroughly before adding. Use a spatula or scraper to mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins. Stop mixing as soon as you no longer see streaks of flour.
Step 4
Line your muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the batter into each liner, filling them about 70-80% full. This allows room for the muffins to rise evenly during baking without overflowing.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, carefully remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them warm for the best texture and flavor!
