I haven’t been baking muffins for quite a while. Yesterday I took some time off to bake some Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins for my family and a friend, and boy it was GOOD! So as I was saying, my mum talked me into making a little business out of the muffins that I’ve been making. Cool? Fun? Not so sure now. But luckily I’m still enjoying the process of making muffins. The only thing that I don’t like is… the washing after preparing. Perhaps a dish washer will help… anyone listening? :P So far we’ve got about 9 of the more commonly accepted and yummy proof – and healthy – flavours ready for the business. Oh when I said business, did I mention that I’m only going to bake 12 muffins a day, and not more than 5 days a week? LOL! That’s really a casual business for me. :D But my mum and brother (and perhaps me!) have already been dreaming all the way to big muffin business. Owning a shop, serving a wide variety of muffins, and perhaps other yummy treats like scones, and of course coffee. We have also casually appointed the unofficial muffin professional a.k.a darl as our coffee brewer – in dreamland. He makes really nice coffee. :) Anyway, dream aside. I’m working on the packaging and stuffs and everything should be ready by next week. I hope this can be a really relaxing and casual thing for me coz seriously, I don’t want too much of pressure from something that I truly enjoy. Homemade muffins… anyone? :) P/S: I’m considering merging both my blogs (nottypooch.com/mydogdiary) since my identity is no longer a secret (LOL!) and managing 2 blogs can be tedious at times. I’ll announce if I really do merge them up. Till then, happy listening! :) I noticed that I’ve been posting about muffins for… OMG continuously 3 posts already! I’m so sorry but the genius here is having such a HUGE muffins attack that she is almost baking everyday! >.< And for today, we have Chocolate Chips Muffins. I have created a photo album on my Facebook, to show the muffins attack on me and also the chronicles of my muffin-making journey. Check out here. :D With the amount of work piling up when my iMac was away, I really shouldn’t be doing this today… but hell I kept having the thought of making the perfect muffins so I took an hour off from work and made these. >.< Six blueberry muffins, with the leftover ingredients from yesterday! And the most important part is, everyone said they are better than those from yesterday. Nicer texture (still with room for improvement), perfect brown! And so here are some secrets to get your perfect muffins *ahem I’m saying as if I’m pro already!* You can’t over mix the batter. 10-15 strokes, maximum. Also, after some researches online, I realised that there are actually 2 main types of muffins, English and American. The one we normally have here is American (of course…). And there are 2 types under American, cake-like and bread-like. I found a really great site with a lot of baking tips and information here. If you go under muffins, you’ll find the detailed info on differences between the types of muffins there. My little niece LOVES every single piece of my muffins. So tomorrow, perhaps, I’ll make raisin muffins. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *attacked by raisin poison* |
