Prep time
20 mins
Ingredients
- Egg: 3 large eggs
- Butter: 25g butter, melted
- Creme Fraiche: half-fat creme fraiche, to serve
- Almond: few drops of almond extract
- Self Raising Flour: 100g self-raising flour
- Golden Caster Sugar: 100g golden caster sugar, plus a little extra for sprinkling
- Flaked Almond: 1 tbsp flaked almonds
- Peach: 2 small peaches
- Apricot Jam: 2 tsp peach conserve or apricot jam
Directions
- Preheat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. In a large bowl, use a hand whisk to mix the eggs, sugar and almond extract together for a minute until foamy. Pour in the melted butter and continue to beat until combined. Gently fold in the flour, ground almonds and a pinch of salt.
- Halve, stone and slice the peaches. Divide muffin mixture between 6 holes of a non-stick muffin tin. Top each with a blob of conserve or jam and arrange a few slices of peach on top. Scatter over the almonds and a little extra sugar, then bake for 20-25 mins until puffed up and golden. Serve warm with a spoonful of half-fat creme fraiche, or leave to cool. Best eaten the day they're made or frozen whilst still slightly warm for up to 1 month.
