Raspberry and Lemon Muffins

Tonight is party night - Claire's Hen Party, and to honour the occassion she is being thrown a 'Pudding and Pants' party. We all take the bride-to-be a gift of a pair of pants, and a pudding to share with everyone else. I can't disclose what sort of pants I am going to suprise the bride with later, but I can say what combo of muffins I've been baking to take with me ~ Lemon and Raspberries.

375g self raising flour

220g caster sugar

grated rind of one lemon

In a small bowl mix together:

90g melted butter

Put a dollop in the bottom of 12 muffin cases

Drop half a level teaspoon lemon curd on top

Cover with the remaining mixture
