Ingredients
- 225g plain flour
- 4 x 37g packets of Maltesers, 24 left whole, the rest crushed
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 medium egg
- 142ml soured cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g unsalted butter, 25g softened, the rest melted
- 6 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
- 200g golden icing sugar, sifted
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan 160˚C/gas 4. Lightly grease 2 × 12-hole mini muffin tins (base 3cm wide, top 4cm wide).
-
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the crushed Maltesers, caster sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, soured cream, vanilla, melted butter and 5 tbsp milk, then mix into the dry ingredients until just combined.
-
Divide among the tins and bake for 12-15 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove and cool on a wire rack.
-
Meanwhile, beat the remaining ingredients until smooth. Ice each muffin, then decorate with a Malteser.
