Chocolate Chip Muffins
Hi guys, for last week's lesson in cooking, we made some Chocolate Chip Muffins. I'm going to talk about this now because I don't want to interrupt you while reading this post. So what happened was while we were mixing the liquid ingredients together, we were suppose to melt the butter until it was like a liquid. So then we microwaved it but I didn't really saw what it looked like after coming out of the Oven because I was focused on doing something else. Once I was finished on what I was doing, I finally had the time to check on them and see if they needed some help. But when I saw the mixture, the butter still looked kind of kind of fluffy and thick. I told them to microwave if for a little bit because the butter was not melted at all but, there was one problem. The egg was already in the mixture and if we put the mixture in the microwave for a bit too long, the egg will start cooking. So. we had to start the whole entire process. We were keep on telling each other that we could do it because at that time, almost every group was ready to put their one in the Oven. We were doing it as fast as we could, but was making sure that we do it right. In the end, we were able to finish baking the Muffins on time. By the way, I couldn't take as much photos because we were so busy.
Ingredients:
2 c of Self Raising Flour
1/2 t of Salt
1/2 c of Caster Sugar

In a separate bowl melt butter then add milk, and egg beat to combine.
Mash & measure the bananas and add to liquid ingredients.
Tip liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Fold Carefully. do not over mix.
Carefully spoon muffin batter into prepared muffin tins. ( line with paper muffin cases)
Optional topping: Mix 1 T sugar & 1/2 t Cinnamon and sprinkle over top of muffins. Drop some Chocolate bits on each.
Bake at 220 Celsius for 12-15 minutes, testing to check if the muffin is cooked. Cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from pans.
Here is the before and after photos:
Hi Janel. Your muffins look great. I particularly like the photos of them rising in the oven. Also I like that fact you have acknowledged the mistake your group made, how you had another attempt and that you still got your muffins cooked in the required time. That shows good team work in the end. Was the semi melted butter added to the mixture before you realised it was not completely melted?
