Bite-sized Chocolate Muffins~..

Salam n hye everyone~!!

Yesterday, I mentioned about going to bake something. My sweet tooth had been craving for something chocolatey lately. But I wasn't really in the mood to bake a new recipe. So I baked bite-sized chocolate muffins that I knew of, hehe.. ^_^

Here's a recipe of the yummy choc muffins. It's actually taken from one of Ummi's recipe book, but I've altered the recipe a bit, hihi~..

(Bite-sized) Chocolate Muffins

* 125g / 4 oz butter, softened
* ½ cup /125g / 4 oz sugar
* 2 eggs, lightly beaten
* 2 cups / 250g / 8 oz self-raising flour
* ¼ cup / 30g / 1 oz cocoa powder, sifted
* 155g / 5 oz chocolate chips, or chopped bits from a chocolate bar
* ¾ cup / 185ml / 6 fl oz buttermilk or milk

1) Beat butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs.

2) Combine flour & cocoa powder. Mix the flour mixture & milk into the butter mixture.

3) Then add the chocolate chips or chocolate bar bits into the mixture.

4) Spoon the mixture into a muffin tray. (I used a 12-pc muffin tray, you can also use a 6-pc muffin tray with 1 cup / 250g measurements).

5) Bake at an oven temperature of 180°C / 350°F for 10-15 mins (12-pc muffin tray) or 30-35mins (6-pc muffin tray or until the muffins are cooked when tested wif a skewer.

6) Cool on a wire rack. Best to be served warm.

Below are pics I snapped of the muffins I made. I baked 5 trays, so that means I baked 60 choc muffins in total. XP

I wanted to use the kitchen oven, but it was faulty..
(better get it repaired before Eid comes, hehe..)





Tada!!! Yummylicious, don't you think?



See how tiny they are?
That's why I called them "bite-sized" muffins, hehe..

Scones Recipe

I juz made scones yesterday for tea. Scones are small British round cakes which comes from Scotland. Of course, I got to know about them & 1st ate them when I used to live in Scotland years ago.

Scones are so easy to bake, plus they use simple ingredients with no eggs at all. They are usually eaten during tea time or even at breakfast.

Let me share a recipe of it which I have altered a bit.

SCONES

* 225g / 8 oz  self-raising flour
* 2.5ml / ½  tsp salt
* 50g / 2 oz butter
* 50g / 2 oz caster sugar
* 125ml / 4 fl oz milk
* 75g sultanas or raisins
* extra milk for brushing

1) Place flour, salt & butter in the processor bowl & process for 10 seconds, until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.

2) Add the sugar & mix together for 5 seconds.

3) With the machine still running, pour enough milk to give a soft dough.

4) Next, pour in the raisins or sultanas.

5) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board & roll out into 2cm thick.

6) Cut out 12 rounds (or more), using a 5cm (2") cutter (or a any round cutter of your choice). Brush tops with milk.

7) Place on a greased baking tray & bake in the centre of the oven at 220°C / 425°F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown & well-risen.

8) Cool on a wire rack.

Scones are usually eaten with jam n cream. But my family eat scones with jam n vanilla ice cream. ^_^ You should seriously try this recipe.
