I was trying to finish up my earl grey tea bags so I made some muffins. Instead of using raisins, I replaced them with currants. Also, I reduced the sugar slightly but it was still a bit too sweet. Nevertheless, it tasted great!
Earl Grey Tea Muffins
Makes 12
Ingredients
450ml boiling water
2 Earl Grey tea bags
120g currants
2 eggs
110g butter, melted
375g all-purpose flour
2 tbsp double action baking powder
Pinch of salt
170g castor sugar
Method
- Pour the boiling water over the tea bags; infuse for 10 minutes. Strain tea onto currants and set aside to soak for 1 hour.
- Strain the tea into a measuring jug and make up to 300ml with additional water, if necessary.
- Preheat oven at 200 degC. Line muffin tray with paper cups.
- Sift flours, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add sugar into the flour mixture. Use a whisk to lightly blend the mixture.
- In another mixing bowl, combine eggs, tea and melted butter.
- Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix just until all the flour is moistened. Fold currants into batter. The batter should look lumpy. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter into 12 muffin cups. Reduce temperature to 180degC and bake muffins for 25-30 minutes or until well risen.
- Transfer to wire racks to let cool.

Ur earl grey muffins look very good, I feel like having one.

Hope this helps.
Hi Blessed Homemaker,

Sonia,
Do give this a try if you like earl grey tea. But I must say the taste is quite subtle and it's good for afternoon tea :)

DG,
I wasn't able to add shortcuts so I thought maybe my current layout does not support changes so went to change it :P
I made these with dried blueberries and they were lovely! The temp of 200c was too hot and 1 muffin was slightly burnt. But other than that, I really liked it! Thanks for the recipe.
I made these today and they were really very lovely. I used dried blueberries instead. Thanks for the recipe!
Cal,
I'm sorry to hear one of your muffin got burnt. I suspect your oven heat is not evenly distributed, thus only 1 muffin was burnt. Anyway, glad to know that you like them.
