I can't decide whether to call them muffins or cupcakes... but they made the kids very happy.
It was a Friday afternoon and Heidi had a friend over.
How could I resist baking muffins with them?
They helped me all the way, and left a pretty messy kitchen in their wake but I think they had a good time doing it and that's fine with me.
We added a few finely sliced strawberries on top and placed them in the oven.
The kids could hardly wait the 25 minutes it took to bake them!
I had to do everything in my power to distract them while I let the muffins cool for a few minutes. The TV is pretty good for that ;-)
In the end they devoured their muffins, every little crumb so it must have been good.
Me on the other hand just looked at them eating the muffins because I'm on a diet.
I enjoyed them with my eyes :-)
Here is the recipe and a link to the page where I found it:
Ingredients:
2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C or 160° fan-forced. Place muffin papers in one 12-hole muffin tray.
Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
In a jug, mix egg, milk and oil.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour 1/3 cup measures into muffin liners and smooth over top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. Leave to cool in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
