Lemon Curd and White Chocolate Muffins

Well the Murder Mystery night had to be cancelled due to the persistant snowy weather, school got closed too :) But all of this excitement meant I ended up being left with dozens of muffins and only me to eat them - not the best idea. But thankfully muffins are freezable.
I always put them into a ziplock bag or sealed plastic container once they are cold, and then pop them in the freezer. defrost them individually if you like, and for that just cooked taste - bung them in the microwave for 12 seconds and they'll taste like they just came out of the oven.

Here's a picture of the snowy walk I went on round the village, the canal was mostly frozen except for where the barges moor.

 

In case I haven't written this recipe out before this is what I did for the lemony beauties -

In a large bowl mix together:
375g self-raising flour
220g caster sugar
grated rind of 1 lemon

In a small bowl mix together:
90g melted butter
half cup sour cream
quarter cup lemon juice
2 large eggs

Mix the wet into the dry
Then stir in:
half cup lemon curd
100g white chocolate chunks

Divide between 12 muffin cases
Bake Gas 5/6, for 20-25 minutes
Leave in the tin for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool
