I have been told in this day and age it is rare for a 21 year old female to find cooking such a hobby, so i decided to write this blog to keep record of my experiences and cooking conquests. Im definatly big on simple but good meals, and of a decent size! Anything I post up will more than likely be good simple and as Kiwi as can be :-) Hopefully along the way I may inspire other to give it a go, who can resist good food...apart from Posh Spice and Nicole Richie!

Crunchy Lemon Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 2 C Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder

Place Flour, BP & Sugar in bowl and mix

Mix Milk, Butter, Egg and Lemon Rind together

Add wet mixture to the dry and lightly mix (Once again be careful only to wet dry ingredients and dont over mix)

Add into muffin pan, only fix max 3/4 as you will want the syrup to catch on the sides.

Bake for 10 mins or until golden.

Once out of the over and still hot pour mixed lemon juice and sugar (Syrup) over each muffin (I use a pastry brush to try and distribute evenly)

Leave for 5mins then taken muffins out of pan for easy removal, otherwise it gets sticky!

Preheat over to 200 C

Sift Flour, BP & BS into bowl, Add Bran and mix together

Warm golden syrup and add milk and egg and mix

Combine both mixtures (you know the rule)

Place in Muffin pan to about 3/4 C Full.

Bake for 10-15 mins
