Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend ..It was good for me too with lot of activities revolving around the Kitchen. My H bought me a whole new set Pots n Pans to encourage and appreciate me in my Cooking n Blogging. It didnt stop here. He bought me another lovely handblender from Philips with a full bunch of accessories and I m just loving it.. It does all my whisking n blending in a Jiffy....
Thank you H :)for all of it.
This Muffin Post is really dear to me for 2 things .Firstly I could use my new Handblender and my work was done... in a Wrooooooooooooom. All my whisking was done. Initially I used to struggle doing the same , using all my muscle power in a hand whisker .....
Seondly my previous try at Muffin few months ago was a utter disaster... I made a Chocolate Muffin and it hardened and was a little bit salty .... I have listed all my learning notes below inorder to avoid n repeat such mistakes .
But everything is a learning curve. I would never have realised things can go this worse .. if everything is goody goooody all the time.

INGREDIENTS :Dry Ingredients
| All Purpose Flour | : 1 Cup |
| White Suga | : ¼ Cup |
| Baking Powder | : 1.5 Tsp |
| Salt | : Pinch |
| Dark Chocolate Chip | : ¼th Cup |
Wet Ingredients :
| Milk | : ¼ cup +2 Tblspn |
| Egg | : 1 Nos |
| Vegetable Oil | : 3 Tblspn |
Topping :
| White Sugar | : 1.5 Tblspn |
| Brown Sugar | :1 Tblspn |
This measurement yields 6 Muffins.
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 205 C. Line the the muffin tray with Muffin Paper.
- Combine all the dry Ingredients & mix well in a bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl ,Combine the Wet Ingredients together using a wisk or a hand blender.
- Incorporate dry ingredients all at once into the wet Ingredients and blend well.Fill cups ⅔ full.
- Sprinkle tops of muffins before baking with a combination of White and Brown Sugar.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 minute before removing from pan. Serve warm with Tea.
KITCHEN NOTES :
- Be very careful while adding salt in a muffin making. It can get too salty.I will suggest to add less than a pinch in this preparation.
- If toothpick /skewer not available, Use a kitchen fork to check it if comes out clean.
- As soon as the muffin turns slightly brown at around 20 minutes , take them out to check. Baking for slightly longer time can leave the muffin totally hard with time.
- First time makers , remember to fill the muffin cup only ½ - ⅔rd only. Muffin is sure to rise and will fall out if you fill more than that.
