Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
•3 cups plain flour
•1 tbsp baking powder
•3/4 cup soft brown sugar
•125g butter, melted
•2 eggs, lightly beaten
•1 cup milk
•1 1/3 cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
Method
1. Preheat the oven to hot (210C). Grease or brush two trays of six 1/2-cup muffin holes with melted butter or oil. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.
2. Add the combined melted butter, eggs and milk all at once, and fold until just combined. (Don't overmix, the batter should look quite lumpy.)
3. Fold in the blueberries. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack

I wasnt too pleased with today's baking coz I was suppose to put the brown sugar with the flour and I had 2 of my mixing bowls...1 with the flour & e other with the mixture of butter, eggs & milk....
BUT....I accidentally added 1/4 of the brown sugar into my butter...and I forgot to lightly beat the eggs...I just cracked & put into it...then my mixture was quite clumpy....but was thinking eventually everything had to be mixed right? But still a silly mistake..
Here's the gooey & gross looking mixture...
Batch 1 - before going to the oven...didnt know if it was suppose to be totally filled or half but I just try lah
I think the temperature was too high and about 10 min through...the top looks burnt...and prob already cooked...so I sticked a toothpick and was clear...so the 2nd batch, I reduced to 180 degrees and for 20 min....
And 1 thing I always forget is to just taste a little of the batter to see the sweetness...my MIL tried...lucky was ok..she said was bland but when you hit the blueberry...the sweetness took over..
With the 2nd batch..
My MIL say dont lose confidence...keep it going then will improve...I should probably start investing in better quality flour..coz I just buy local supermarket brand and whenever I taste it taste the same...oh well...another thing done on my list to try..
Public holiday tomorrow over here...another day to rest......Yeah!
