Muffins

Like Isaac sings, today I am the "do you see the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man..?"

Yupyup, today I went for my second Tuesday baking session at my sis place.


Why my sis place u may ask? Many reasons, my house oven is spoilt, my sis place bigger, got maid to help me clean (oops, not a good reason) and can go see the kids too.


Anyway, the previous batch of chocolate ganache yoghurt cupcake wasn very successful so I was keeping my hopes high today. But somehow my muffins turn out to be a bit wet before baking, thus the muffins were a bit dense. Nonetheless, quite nice lar...

My banana muffins which i learnt the last time, dunnoe why the top crack... arrgh...My ugly cinnamon muffin when it just came out of the oven..The cinnamon muffins after I put on the sugar...

Ha after I cover the cracks it looks much better...

Few things I have to take note next time:

1. Try to make sure all my proportions are correct. I dunnoe why I usually get less muffins than the recipe specifies.

2. Make sure when I sift the flour, the flour gets IN the bowl, not outside.

3. When I mix the butter and sugar, should mix a bit more.

4. Folding can be done better. Batter looks too watery.

5. Dunnoe why, but should work on how to not let my muffins crack next time.

6. Presentation definitely must be better.

7. Organisation. I waste a lot of time in and out of the kitchen.

Dunno how many baking sessions I will have, but hope this is not the last. But I foresee none for the next month cos my tests are coming. Till the next time!
