Here is an excellent way of using-up any leftover mincemeat you might have after Christmas. These also make an excellent alternative to mince pies for Christmas.

Ingredients:

125g mincemeat
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
140g golden caster sugar
90ml sunflower oil
2 eggs, beaten
200ml milk (or 100ml milk and 100ml yoghurt)
2 tsp mixed spice (pumpkin pie spice)

Method:

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and mixed spice in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the oil into a mixing jug then add the eggs and beat lightly with a fork. Pour in the milk, whisk briefly then add to the dry ingredients.

Stir everything until just combined then fold in the mincemeat (do not over-work the batter or the muffins will be tough). Spoon the batter into 12 muffin tin wells that have been lined with paper cases.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 20 minutes, or until nicely risen and golden brown on top.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm, with coffee.
