THIS week’s bake is a new twist on the classic combination of rhubarb and custard.
These muffins are quick to make – and we reckon they’ll be even quicker to eat!
They are from our new favourite book, Tanya Bakes. All the recipes in it are so mouth-watering, we plan to work our way through every one!
