Top tips for making ham muffins:
The muffin mantra is the lumpier the batter, the lighter the muffin. So you definitely don't need to stir the mix as much as you may think. Equally, if your muffins are starting to get a little bit dry, give them a 10 second blast in the microwave to bring them back to life.
