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!

I made some Oreo Cupcakes and Coconut Macaroons with Pineapple Cream filling (macaroons were a disaster need more practice)

A chocolate cake ( plus two smaller ones for the freezer) filled with hm damson jam. Had a slice with a cup of tea and sat in the garden enjoying the sun. Bliss:)

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.

Freespirit - that's looks great, I bet she'll be thrilled

I've made some meringues and some mayonnaise with the yolks. Planning a lemon polenta cake, as its one of my favourites and rarely bake things for me

I love the creativity!

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?

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!
