Pear & Nutmeg Muffins

Today's batch were meant for a get together that isn't happening tonight after all, which could well result in me having visitors here later - I have however asked them to turn up with a wallpaper scraper if they do come round.

In a large bowl mix together:
375g self-raising flour 220g caster sugar
teaspoon ground nutmeg

In a small bowl mix together:
90g melted salted butter
half cup sour cream
quarte cup cloudy apple juice
2 large eggs

Mix the wet into the dry
Stir in:
1 cup peeled, diced pears

Sprinkle cocoa powder on the top of each muffin

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