Christmas Morning Jewelled Muffin Mix In A Jar

Christmas Morning Jewelled Muffin Mix In A Jar


1. Layer all the ingredients in a 1 litre/2 pint glass preserving jar in the order the ingredients are listed.

2. Write the following method on a gift label:

3. 'Tip the contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add 2 beaten eggs, 300ml/1/2 pt milk and 100g/4oz melted butter. Mix quickly and lightly to a soft batter. Divide between 12 muffin cases. Bake at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 18-20 minutes Use within 4 weeks.'.

4. Attach the label and a wooden spoon to the top of the jar with some raffia or coloured ribbon and a sprig of holly or seasonal herbs. (I like to use Bay leaves!).

5. Look out for attractive clear jars - either glass or plastic - to show off the layers of the muffin mix - I like to use Kilner Jars.
