Strawberries and Cream Muffins

It seems only right now that it is June to put those most English of fruits - strawberries, into a muffin. This is the month of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the usual time for Pick Your Own, and Wimbledon, so it was only fitting to make a muffin for the moment, and very nice they turned out too. In fact I'm fairly certain that I'll have to bake these again quite soon.

For the 'cream':
In a small bowl mix together:
one tablespoon of caster sugar 
half a tub of cream cheese

In a large bowl mix together:

375g self raising flour

220g caster sugar

In a small bowl mix together:

90g melted butter

half cup sour cream

quarter cup milk

few drops of vanilla essence

2 large eggs

Mix the wet into the dry

Stir in 200g fresh diced strawberries
 

Put a small dollup of mixture into the bottom of 12 muffin cases

Put a half teaspoon of the 'cream' on the top

then cover with the remaining muffin batter

Bake on Gas 5/6 for 20-25 mins

Leave in the tin for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool
