Does anyone know how to…
…make really awesome chocolate chip muffins?
I made these muffins (and brownies and also fresh cream cakes) for Dougal’s birthday for him to take to work (he was too busy to make it own, although normally he would). The muffins looked awesome (it all looked awesome) but Dougal tells me that they were somewhat lacking. The recipe was a Nigella, from her website, and was dead easy to make, so I’m sad they disappointed. Can you improve?
The cream cakes were also a little disappointing but I’m going to insist on a wee cake masterclass from my mum to fix that. The brownies, on the other hand, were gorgeous, but there were my special recipe, from the Usborne Kid’s Cookery Book, Sweet Things, circa 1988…which takes some beating (and which I might share if you ask nice)!
yes, I can vouch that the brownies were FAB, even when they were 8 days old (sorry) when we finally ate them.
We took them with us on our holiday, always deferring the pleasure of something wunnerful but taken to extremes… however, I cracked and managed to get them into a day pack and we ate them at the top of a hill overlooking a fabulous golden beach on Harris. Photo will follow by some means or other! xxxxx
my friend puts sour cherries in the nigela brownies and they are gorgeous.
which Nigella brownies would these be? I don’t know of a nigella brownie recipe- it ain’t in feast or Nigella Express. That said there are ’snow-flecked’ brownies in feast, maybe that’s it.
