- Next, add the cooled butter and mix well. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix just to combine.
- Do not over-mix - there may well be lumps but that’s alright.
- Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling them halfway.
- Sprinkle a few berries in and then continue to fill the muffin tins to the top.
