What’s so special about them? Well, for starters, they are delicious – there are so many kinds and varieties that even the most discerning of you would find something. Chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, orange, lemon, sultana, pineapple, marzipan, hazelnut – you name it, you have it. More than that – they are attractive looking AND easy to make!!!! Lots of muffin kinds you can have ready within 30minutes – and this INCLUDES baking time! Basically there is one main rule to baking muffins – you throw all the ingredients into a bowl, mix them together and the dough is ready – just pour it into the special muffin pan and 20minutes later they’re ready.
Admittedly, some books tell you to first mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl and the liquid ones in another and only then combine them. It certainly doesn’t hurt, but to my way of thinking, why should we spoil the pleasure of baking by creating more dirty dishes to wash? And the muffins are equally delicious coming from one bowl – believe me, I tried. By the way – this is another reason why muffins are an absolutely genius invention – you end up having only one bowl and on spoon to wash…
