• 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5 / 190C. Prepare the muffin tin (either with papers or butter thoroughly).

Prepare the muffin tin (either with papers or butter thoroughly).

Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. In separate bowl beat the egg, then stir in pineapple, milk and oil. Beat well.
Pour wet ingredients over dry; stir just enough to combine. Over-mixing will give heavy muffins. Batter will be thick and lumpy but no traces of flour should remain.

Spoon into muffin tin. Sprinkle generously with coconut. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are lightly browned and spring back when pressed gently. Cool on a wire rack.
