Dry ingredients:
- 60 grams (2 ounces) of potato starch
- 60 grams (2 ounces) of tapioca flour
- 80 grams (3 ounces) of rice flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15 grams (3 teaspoons) of baking powder
- 2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) of xanthan gum
- 134 gr (5 ounces) sugar
Wet ingredients: Using a measuring jug, add the ingredients in this order. In my experience eggs are not always the same size and may slightly change the final version so I want you to arrive at 300 mls (1 1/4 cups) of wet ingredients so that the final preparation is always the same.
- 2 medium eggs
- 100 gr (4 ounces) butter, at room temperature
- 100 ml (0.4 cup) of milk or yogurt

Flavors

- 100 grams (3 1/2) of mango, finely chopped
- Preheat the oven to 185C / 370F.
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In a measuring jug, gently mix all the wet ingredients with the with a fork for 30 seconds.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold to combine which will take about 2 minutes. If you mix the batter too much, you will notice that it will have the consistency of glue. If this happens your muffins will also have the consistency of glue. Therefore, carefully fold the batter to combine. Do not worry if the mixture is not homogeneous.
- Add a little ‘milk or flour if necessary. An extra 2 tablespoon of flour or milk will make no difference to the results.
