Wonderfully simple to make from ingredients often already in the kitchen pantry, this white chocolate muffin recipe from Andy Waters is good to have up one's sleeve for a sweet treat. Serve the muffins on their own, or slice them in half and present them with whipped cream and ripe strawberries for a brilliant bite-sized dessert at the end of a meal.
