Lychee Muffin Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lychee Muffin Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and get your muffin tin ready by lining it with cheerful paper liners.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cake flour and baking powder, giving it a good stir to blend the dry ingredients.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your lychees and drain them, making sure to save that sweet canning liquid for later.

4. Step 4

   Gently pat the lychees dry with a paper towel, then chop them into small, delightful pieces.

5. Step 5

   Toss about three-quarters of the chopped lychees into the flour mixture, mixing lightly to ensure they’re evenly distributed.

6. Step 6

   In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg until the sugar is nicely dissolved, which should take about a minute.

7. Step 7

   Now, stir in five tablespoons of the reserved canning liquid, along with melted butter and a splash of vanilla extract for that extra warmth.

8. Step 8

   Carefully fold in the flour mixture, stirring just until everything is moistened—remember, we want to keep it tender, so no overmixing here! Spoon the luscious batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about three-quarters full.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining lychee pieces on top for a fruity surprise.

10. Step 10

    Pop the tin into your preheated oven and bake for around 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
