White Chocolate Chip cupcakes

I made these muffins a long while ago, and used some white fudge icing on top. They were pretty good. Unfortunately as it was such a long time ago I can't remember much else, anyway here is the recipe.

Ingredients - makes 12 muffins

125g (4.5 oz) butter
170g (6 oz) caster sugar
Eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g (9 oz) self-raising flour
125ml (4 fl oz) buttermilk
200g (7 oz) white chocolate chips


Icing

200g (7 oz) white chocolate
5 tbsp milk
175g (6 oz) icing sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 170*C, line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases
2. Beat the sugar and butter together until pale and creamy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract.
3. Fold in the flour alternately with the buttermilk and fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Divide the mixture among the cases until 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
5. Leave the cakes in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer onto a wire rack to cool.
6. Icing - Put the chocolate and milk in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
7. Leave until melted, then sift in the icing sugar until smooth. Leave to cool for a little bit before spreading on the top of the cool cakes.
