:: choc chip muffin ::

ingredients:-

400g of flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
200 g castor sugar
2 large eggs
300 ml milk
110g melted butter
choc chip (dusted with flour)
dusted crushed walnuts (any nuts would do, or just omit the nuts if u hate it)

method

1. preheat oven to 200deg
2. sift flour + salt + baking powder.
3. in a different container, mix milk + cooled melted butter + eggs.
4. pour mixture no. 3 into the sifted flour. mix just until all the flour is wet. (important not to overmix. overmixing will result in smooth surface which is cakey like, not muffin! good muffin should have cracks on top)
5. mix in the dusted choc chips and walnuts (dusted to avoid settlement - macam engineering laks)
6. divide the batter into muffin cups. bake at 180 deg for 25-35 mins. make 12-14 cups of muffin, depending on cup size.

isn’t easy?? try la.. kalau i boleh buat, you all sure boleh

ps : lama dah i try buat muffin nih, siap terpaksa godek former blog nak cari balik recipe.. gambar nih pun gambar lama. sila abaikan tarikh itu. :P
