Ingredients
Rhubarb and custard muffins
- 2 cup self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 125 gram butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh rhubarb

Custard
- 2 tablespoon custard powder
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar

Method
Rhubarb and custard muffins
- 1Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Lightly spray a 12-hole muffin pan with oil.
- 2To make custard: In a saucepan, combine custard powder, sugar and a little milk to form a smooth paste. Blend in remaining milk until well combined. Stir over low heat until mixture boils and thickens. Reduce heat. Simmer 3 minutes, stirring. Remove from heat. Cover surface of custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming. Let cool.
- 3Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in caster sugar. In a jug, combine milk, butter and egg.
- 4Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add rhubarb and milk mixture all at once. Mix lightly until just combined. Do not over-mix.
- 5Half-fill each muffin-pan recess with muffin batter, then spoon custard evenly on top. Spoon remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- 6Bake 20-25 minutes, until cooked when tested. Serve warm.
