    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with 12 paper cases.

    2 In a bowl, beat spread and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add eggs, beating well. In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients then fold into egg mixture, gradually adding milk.

    3 Place drained pears on a paper towel and dab to remove excess liquid. Carefully fold into muffin mixture.

    4 Spoon into paper cases to two-thirds full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on top. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar. Store for up to 2 days or place plain muffins in a plastic bag to freeze.
