Giving out Xmas prezzies earlier this yr because tomorrow Friday is my last day at work
i am going on 1 weeks leave during xmas week!!! yuppie...
found pretty plastic bags in Daiso in plaza sing during lunch time shopping
Being cheapo, bought 3 types
- pink stripes ones 12 pcs
- blue stripes ones 12 pcs
- green ones 18 pcs
I really like the pink and blue ones!!! but green ones have 6 more!!! :D
never mind, buy all 3, spread out the costs!!!
After dinner, start work at ard 9pm.
The receipe yields 12 muffins, i need to double the portions.
Damn!!! not enough eggs in the fridge.... luckily hubby volunteers to go buy... problem solved....
Read receipe... take out the ingredients one by one.... oh no, no more sugar!!!!!
quickly call husband, still downstairs, just in time to ask him to buy... phew, another problem solved.
lets get started!!!
Weigh sugar... pour sugar into bowl... cut butter into small pieces and throw into bowl with sugar. check receipe again. oh no!!! its melted butter!!!
oh well.... pick them up from bowl (already coated with sugar but its ok lah), put the butter into a bowl and pop into microwave for 2 mins. haha... anyhow whack!!! phew...3rd problem solved...
cream sugar with egg using mixer....
add mashed banana.... add melted butter.....
So far so good. the batter is very heavy when i lift it to to mix with the dry ingredients...
While i am mixing with the dry ingredients.. eh?? looks very dry!!! ok i better dont mix in all the flour (leave some at the sides of the bowl). receipe say cannot over mix so as long as the majority of the batter is mixed, i can dont scope out those batter that is not mixed properly right??
when i start to scoop the mixture into the muffin cups, begins to feel worried. Oh no, very dry leh... cannot remember whats the texture like the last time i made them. will they turn out to be stone muffins???!!! finished scooping... fill only 21 cups.... even more worried....
After 10 mins in the oven, first sigh of relief when i see them rise in the oven.
Rise so much means there is lots of air inside so cannot be too hard right?
2nd sigh of relief after they stand outside the oven for 5 mins. didnt sink... so the air inside is still trapped so should remain fluffy right?? i cannot wait anymore!!! while its still hot, grab the ugliest looking one and tear it apart!!!
The top crust is very crusty... take a bite... very crunchy.. like biscuit.. taste wise also okay....
3rd sigh of relief...
Inside if the muffin is very soft to touch... 4th sigh of relief.... okay... someone told me cannot eat muffin when its hot cos it will cause hair drop... (urban legend??!)
Go bath first...
After 15 mins, check out the muffins again... a bit harder to touch, but still okay.... 5th sigh of relief...
Pinch a small piece and put inside the mouth of unsuspecting husband (who is playing game)
*hm... nice!!* 6th and final sigh of relief.
okay... good to go as prezzies.
wait for them to cool before packing...
so pretty!!! **proud**
