I really distinguished myself in the kitchen on Monday ...
I'd got ahead on work time so I decided to take a long lunch break and bake some muffins. Now, as you may know, muffins involve only two types of ingredients - dry and wet. And this recipe involves butter, so I needed to melt it. I decided to do this in the microwave on defrost.
So I finished up and the muffins came out looking really nice - I was really pleased. I cooled them on a rack, put them in the freezer, washed up and cleared everything away - job done (so I thought) ...
Yesterday the Boyfriend was sorting out some mashed spuds and said to me "this is just butter, right?" And what he was holding out for my inspection was the ramekin of butter I'd melted in the microwave intending to put into the muffin mixture
What is truly amazing though, is that this didn't ruin the muffins. They were actually still really nice, moist and munchy. We attribute this to the fact that the yoghurt I was using wasn't fat free, it was about 3.5%. Also there was lots of apple, chopped into little bits, and a handful of sultanas.
I just unwittingly invented a nearly-fat-free
edible muffin!
