Smoked Salmon, Green Apple and Lime Cupcakes

Ingredients

flour 60g

baking powder 1 teaspoon

egg 1

milk 3cl

grapeseed oil 4cl

Parmesan cheese (grated) 30g

smoked salmon (cut into small dice) 60g

green apple (cored and diced) ½

lime zest zest of 1 lime

salt to taste

pepper to taste

liquid crème fraîche (chilled, then whipped) 10cl

green apple (for the cream) ½

lime juice (for the cream) juice of 1 lime

lime zest (for the cream) zest of ½ lime

Instructions

Prepare the batter

Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6). Mix the flour with the baking powder. Whisk the eggs and gradually add the milk and oil while continuing to whisk. Fold in the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter. Then gently fold in the Parmesan, smoked salmon dice, green apple dice and half of the lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake

Pour the batter into a 6-cup muffin tin lined with paper cases, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden on top. Test with a toothpick — it should come out with no wet batter attached. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Make the apple and lime cream

Whip the cold crème fraîche into a Chantilly-style cream. Blend the green apple with the lime juice into a purée, then gently fold it into the whipped cream. Add the lime zest and season with salt.
