In honor of William and Kate I am making a special English breakfast this morning.  I woke up at 2am this morning just to watch the wedding.  I truly am a crazy romantic at heart!

Strawberries and Cream Mini Muffins

{Recipe taken from People Magazine via Nigella Lawson}


(makes 24 mini muffins)

1 cup strawberries diced into quarter-inch pieces
1 squeeze of lemon juice
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tsp. powdered sugar


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 24 cup mini muffin tin with paper baking cups.

2. Put diced strawberries into a bowl, spritz lemon juice on them and stir gently to combine.

3. In a medium-size bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and baking powder.

4. In a small bowl, beat together oil, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Pour mixture over dry ingredients, stirring to combine with a wooden spoon. Fold in strawberries.

5. Divide batter evenly among the paper cups in the mini-muffin tin. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

6. Place tin on a wire rack and leave for 5 minutes. Take out the muffins and continue cooling them in the paper cups on the wire rack. When muffins are completely cool, place the powdered sugar in a small sieve. Shake sieve lightly to dust the muffins with sugar. Serve.


Note: If making regular sized muffins it makes 12 and will have to bake for about 17 minutes.
