Encores

What else you’ll need

For the dough:

• 2 medium eggs
• 125 ml cooking oil
• 100 ml water

For the glaze:

• 15 ml (approx. 1 – 2 tbsp) lukewarm water

Preparation

Make the dough

1. Preheat a conventional oven to around 200 °C (fan approx. 180 °C).
2. Put the baking mix, eggs, cooking oil and water in a mixing bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer (whisk) briefly on the lowest setting first of all, then on the highest setting for around 1 minute, until creamy.
3. Take out one tablespoon of the chocolate chips and mix the rest into the dough.

Bake

1. Now place the 12 muffin cases onto a baking tray.
2. Distribute the dough equally between the cases using 2 tablespoons and decorate with the remaining chocolate chips.
3. Bake the muffins on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Use a wooden skewer to check the muffins are baked through before taking them out of the oven.
4. After baking, place the muffins on a wire rack to cool.
5. Mix the glazing mix with lukewarm water until smooth and spread the glaze on the muffins.
6. Scatter sugar sprinkles on the glaze while still moist.
