Ingredients

5 tbsp light rapeseed or sunflower oil plus a little extra for greasing

300g self-raising flour

175g golden caster sugar

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp poppy seeds

200ml milk

1 large egg

zest 2 blood orange juice 2 1/2

140g granulated sugar

Prep: 20 MINS
Cook: 12 MINS - 15 MINS

Method

1)Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin.

Mix together the flour, caster sugar, baking powder and poppy seeds in a large mixing bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, egg, and zest and juice from 1 of the oranges.

2)Working very quickly, pour the wet ingredients into the dry and barely mix together with a fork – the mixture should be lumpy, so don’t overwork it.

Spoon the mixture into the tins and bake for 10-12 mins until risen and browned.

3)While the muffins are baking, mix the remaining zest with the granulated sugar in a small bowl.

Have the remaining blood orange juice ready too.

4)Leave the muffins to cool for 2 mins, then transfer to a wire rack.

Again working quickly, pour the juices into the sugar mix and spoon some over each muffin, repeating until it is all used up.

Leave to set for 5 mins before eating
