How to Make It — Step by Step
Prep Oven
Preheat oven to 180C and line a muffin tray with paper cups
Mix Dry
Whisk together maida, baking powder and salt in a large bowl
Mix Wet
In another bowl beat egg, sugar, oil, buttermilk, milk and vanilla until combined
Combine
Pour wet into dry and fold gently until just mixed, then fold in chocolate chips
Bake
Fill cups 3 by 4 full and bake 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
Tips for the Best Result
Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing develops gluten and leads to dense, tough muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.
Make sure your egg, buttermilk, and milk are all at room temperature before you begin. This helps the batter come together smoothly and bake evenly.
Coat your chocolate chips in a little flour before folding them into the batter so they do not sink to the bottom during baking.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Simply skip the egg and add 1/2 tsp of baking soda to the flour to help the muffins rise without eggs.
Yes, mix 1/2 cup of regular milk with 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar, let it sit for 5 minutes, and use it as a buttermilk substitute.
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour but the muffins will be slightly denser. A 50/50 blend of whole wheat and maida works great.
Insert a toothpick into the centre of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the muffins are done.
