Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Place 9 muffin cases in a muffin pan. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
- Heat the butter gently in a saucepan until melted, then stir in the sugar and honey. Beat the egg and milk together. Make a well in the flour then pour in the honey and butter mixture followed by the beaten egg and milk. Stir the mixture together quickly to mix. It doesn't matter if there are a few small lumps.
