- Whisk together butter, egg, juice and yogurt in a large bowl until combined. Add flour mixture to butter mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
- Divide mixture (about 1/3 cup) among prepared pan holes.
- Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 25 minutes, or until cooked when tested. Stand in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
