• Next, pour the egg mixture into the flour, using minimum number of folding movements (you should finish folding in 15 seconds and ignore the lumps in the mixture - do not overmix).
• Now gently add the onion mixture into the muffin mixture, folding in, as before, with as few strokes as possible.
• Arrange the muffin cases into the muffin tins them spoon the mixture into them.
