I’ve perfected making my muffins using Nigella Lawson’s recipe. Well, her chocolate chocolate chips muffins I follow to the T, but I’ve used her basic measurements to create my own variations. For example, my in-laws love raisins so I omitted her 2tbsp of cocoa in the recipe and added raisins instead of chocolate chips for a plain raisin recipe. What I like about Nigella’s measurements is that the muffins come out cake-like and light instead of the denser version of some muffin recipes. I’ve even memorised the recipe – that’s how often I make them now. Just to recap the recipe again:
Dry
1. 1 3/4 cups plain flour
2. 3/4 cups sugar
3. 2tsp baking powder
4. 1/2 tsp baking soda
5. 2 tbsp cocoa
Wet
1. 2/3 cup oil
2. 1 cup milk
3. 1 egg
4. 1 tsp vanilla essence
Seriously, Nigella Lawson should thank me for promoting her recipe all the time. ;p
I love these pretty paper cups. Apparently you can get even prettier ones at Chinatown. Holidays here I come! I’ll be on a cooking and buying frenzy then. 🙂
