Snow Covered Ginger Muffins




125g (4 0z) butter


125ml (4 fl oz) maple syrup


125g (4oz) light muscovado sugar


225g (7.5 oz) self-raising flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon ground ginger


2 eggs


125 ml (4 fl oz) milk


3 tablespoons glace ginger, chopped, plus extra to decorate




Icing




200g (7 oz) icing sugar, sifted


4 teaspoons water


2 pieces glace ginger, sliced




Line 12 sections of a deep bun tin with paper cake cases


Put the butter, syrup and sugar into a saucepan and heat gently stirring until the butter has melted


Mix the flour, baking powder and ground ginger in a bowl


Beat the eggs and milk in another bowl




Take the butter pan off the head then beat in the flour mixture


Gradually beat in the egg and milk mixture, then stir in the glace ginger


Divide the mixture evenly among the cake cases and bake in a preheated oven, 180c (352f), gas mark 4 for 10-15 minutes until well risen and cracked


Leave to cool




Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually mix in the water to create a smooth spoonable icing


Drizzle random lines of icing from a spoon over the muffins and complete with slices of ginger


Leave to harden for 30 minues before serving





I made these for a party last year and one of my friend ate 3 in quick succession!!!

That looks absolutely yummy, but I have to ask, what is muscovado sugar? Is it anything like what we Americans call dark brown sugar?
