Cook's Tips
The secret of successful muffins is to avoid overmixing when you add the wet ingredients to the dry ones.
If you like, drizzle the muffins with a glace icing made with icing sugar and orange juice.
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6. Put 12 paper cases into a muffin tin.
Step 2
Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Set to one side. In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the egg, milk, yogurt, melted butter and orange rind.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir lightly until just combined, adding the chocolate chunks and stirring them through gently.
Step 4
The mixture will be quite lumpy, though there should be no dry flour visible.
Step 5
Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
Step 6
Cool on a wire rack.
