Rolo mini muffins

The other treat I made to take away with us to Cornwall this weekend are these chocolate mini muffins (based on the same recipe using sour cream as my fabulous Oreo mini muffins) - but these each contain a Nestle rolo. It was a complete experiment to see how these turned out, but they worked really well - the rolo mostly melts, adding a rich caramel centre to the muffins. Yummy!

Ingredients

2 oz margarine (plus extra for greasing)

7 oz self-raising flour

3 tbsp cocoa powder

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

6 oz golden caster sugar

5 fl. oz milk

5 tbsp sour cream

2 tsp vanilla essence

1 egg

3 packets of Rolos

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Melt the margarine and grease 30 mini muffin tins.
2. In large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, add the sugar and combine with a hand whisk.
3. In small bowl, combine the milk, sour cream, vanilla essence and egg.
4. Stir the egg mixture in to the flour mixture with the melted margarine until just combined.
5. Half fill each muffin tin with batter, then place a Rolo upside down on the centre of each, and spoon the remaining batter on top.
6. Bake for 15-20 mins or until cake-tester comes out clean.
