Afternoon Baking
22:15
On Wednesday afternoon I was in serious of need of an excuse not to do revision, I just could not face it. So while browsing the internet (one of my distractions) I came across something fascinating on Pinterest. This amazing phenomenon; Doughnut Muffins! This idea captivated me, so I searched the internet for a recipe that wasn't using American measurements, So I gave up. This was the recipe I used:
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
However I guessed with most of the measurements and I couldn't find any Nutmeg, so used Cinnamon. It
also didn't specify what kind of flour, so used whatever was in the cupboard, which happened to be self-raising.
Here is the method:
- Lay out cake cases in a muffin tray. (We have plastic reusable ones; they're fantastic.)
- In a
large bowl, beat together sugar and egg until light in colour. Add
vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla to sugar mixute and mix.
- In a
seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg (or cinnamon). Then pour
into liquid mixture and stir to combine.
- Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
There is also a coating that you can add which is made with:
2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
1/2 cup superfine sugar (can pulse regular sugar
in food processor to make), or powdered sugar.
I was rather proud of my doughnut muffins and they tasted rather yummy if I do say so myself. Everyone else obviously thought so as they were all gone when I returned home that evening.
See the expression, cooking is some seriously business, I did have fun though to be fair. (Although I felt a little fat eating the left over batter, but that's life.) I also got a lovely compliment about my shirt at college, my friend mistaking it for something that would be sold at Urban Outfitters, but no, I inherited from my Granddad's waradrobe , so a piece of clothing I shall always cherish.
So remember, each day, live a little, laugh a little and love a little. ♥
