the takeaway secret

Had a go at making the banana muffins yesterday,but something aint right with them,was not overly impressed.Disappointed as everything else made has gone swimmingly well thus far. Does anyone who has successfully made them have a photo of what they should look like? Mine look like mini brown buns that given a few days could be used as door stops around the house

Happy weekend everyone, as its saturday night I am having a crack at the garlic chilli chicken tikka tonight im so excited has anyone got any good tips, it seems like quite a lengthy process but i like how its all split down into little stages, not so daunting!!

I made this a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely. I didn't use as much chilli as the rcipe said as was worried it'd be too hot for us...and it would have been!!

Ive made them twice and they were gorgeous, the key is to not over mix, literally just mix the wet ingredients with the dry a little bit, a few light stirs.

Muffin mix doesn't do well with over stirring. Mine were light, fluffy, airy and not too brown on top, just a little brown in colour.

Did you mix it for a while or use a mixer to stir it?

You should only stir the mixture for a few turns of the spoon so that the flour is mixed in, it's better for it to be lumpy too.

Edit.

Just spotted Triker's message above, yep, agree with Triker.
