I’ve been into baking muffins and butter cake over the past month 
I didn’t know that baking muffins can be so easy until my colleague who’s expert at baking share her recipe with me.
My first attempt at blueberry muffins was quite a success. That encouraged me a lot! I moved on to banana muffin but it was a failure. I got all the recipes from google searches on the internet and it had been kinda ‘hit or miss’ experience. Dismayed by 2 failed attempts at making banana muffins, I lamented at my colleague-baker expert one day. She went home to try out her banana recipe and brought me some the following day. It tasted just right – moist and full of flavour! I asked for her recipe and she was ever so kind to share it with me and also taught me the secret to making good muffins. I was thrilled and went home to try out it immediately. It worked!
Her recipe can be modified to make other flavoured muffins too. I tried apple-almond-maple syrup muffins yesterday and it turned out well too. The only pity now is that Yang doesn’t take a fancy to muffins and hasn’t really eaten any of my successful products. I’d normally bring my muffins to school and offer them to my colleagues. Some of them enjoyed the amateurish muffins.
My next baking attempt will be butter and sugee cakes
Congratulations on your baking success, Ling. I’ve been craving muffins ever since you shared your first recipe last month. As I’ve mentioned before, baking has always intimidated me, but I’m sure with a little practice—as in all things—one can sort it out to a satisfactory result. If all goes well, I’ll have my mom try your recipe and—hopefully—pig out on muffins!
Hi matt,
I’ve made some minor modification to my blueberry muffin recipe. Basically, 3 cups of plain flour is too much. It should be about 2 cups. The use of self-raising flour is slightly more convenient as one can save the hassle of adding rising agents such as baking powder.
My recipe should make about 20-22 medium-sized muffins. But if that’s too much you can scale down by half :) Save on ingredients just in case the muffins didn’t turn out ok and nobody wants them :D Really hope that it works out great on your side. :) Remember, tell your mother not to over mix the batter. That’s the most important part in the method.
