Instructions

 

• 
  Have ready and pre-measure all ingredients needed.
• 
  Cut cold butter into small chunks and chill in refrigerator before use.
• 
  Grate the outer yellow skin of a lemon. And we're ready to make the muffins!
• 
  First, preheat oven to 180 degree C (350F). Place rack in centre of oven.
• 
  Line a 12 - 14 muffin pan with paper liners.
• 
  In a large bowl, add in the DRY ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder,salt and lemon zest.
• 
  Whisk everything together until well combined.
• 
  Then, add in the cold butter.
• 
  Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 
  Then, set aside 1 cup of the flour mixture to make the streusel topping.
• 
  Next, add in white chocolate chips. This adds sweetness to the muffins as fruit mince is less sweet.
• 
  Mix the white chocolate into the coarse crumb mixture and set aside while we prepare the WET ingredients.
• 
  In a medium size bowl, briefly beat 2 large eggs with vanilla extract.
• 
  Add in milk.
• 
  Next, add in the spiced fruit mince. Mince fruit adds sweetness and moisture to the muffin batter.
• 
  Stir everything together.
• 
  Then add the WET mince mixture into the DRY flour mixture.
• 
  With a spatula, mix briefly. Stir until the flour mixture is JUST moistened. Do not OVER MIX or the muffins will be tough when baked.
• 
  Using an ice-cream scoop, spoon batter into the lined paper cups.
• 
  Fill each lined muffin cup to 3/4 full.
• 
  To make streusel topping, melt 2 tablespoon butter to mix with the flour mixture set aside earlier.
• 
  Place the reserved flour mixture in a bowl and add in the melted butter. Using a fork, stir until it is crumbly.
• 
  Sprinkle one heap tablespoon of the streusel on top of each muffin.
• 
  Tap a little on the streusel with the bottom of the tablespoon used to spoon the streusel to make sure the streusel sticks to the batter.
• 
  Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 28 minutes or until firm and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin pan to cool on wire rack for not more than 2 minutes.
• 
  Then transfer the baked muffins to cool completely on wire rack before serving.
• 
  These muffins are at their best the day they're baked. They keep well in airtight container and store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Refer to notes for freezing instructions. Enjoy!
