I made some cheese scones and some chocolate chip muffins.
I used to have a really good muffin recipe, I think it was on the box the muffin cases came in. None ihave made since have been as good. Tonights were a bit like the texture of Yorkshire puddings with chocolate.
I think I know the one you mean as I kept the details!
250g ( 8 oz) SR Flour- sifted
75g/3 oz caster sugar
1/4 level teaspoon salt
125g/4oz butter,melted
2 size 3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
300 ml/1/2 pt milk
115g pack of chocolate drops
Place the flour sugar salt and melted butter ,eggs vannila essence in a bowl
Whisk together to make a smooth batter. Stir in the choc drops then divide the mixture between 12 muffin cases in muffin or deep bun tins
Bake in a pre heated oven 200 deg C 400 deg F Gas mark 6 for 20- 25 mins until well risen and golden
Remove muffins from tin and allow to cool on wire rack
Cooking time 20- 25 mins
Makes 12 muffins
Hope this is the one you had in mind!0 -

Isn't it the whisking that make it tough? Whisk away the wet ingredients, I say, until the point that the flour goes in - then stir in using the minimum number of strokes.Place the flour sugar salt and melted butter ,eggs vannila essence in a bowl
Whisk together to make a smooth batter.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I've made sugar free banana bread for 2 weeks in a row and whilst it tastes nice, I'd be interested in any other sugar / syrup / sweetener-free recipes tried and tested by OS regulars for snacking on. (I've been relying on ripe bananas, dates and currants for sweetening purposes thus far).
I think I'm going to have to go down the savoury scone route for my next attempt. Or perhaps a savoury rock bun, that could work?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I made a rhubarb meringue cake yesterday. As I am alone with DD2 it seems huge now, what used to last us 2 days as a family of 4 we'll enjoy for a week!First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0
