White chocolate strawberry muffin


I've never baked with white chocolate before and when I saw some leftover white chocolate in the fridge, thought it best to mix in with my muffins.  I was curious as to how they would turn out, especially the colour.










These are easy to make and taste just yummy with tangy berries and bits of white chocolate.

Recipe for White chocolate strawberry muffin

Ingredients
  • 300 gm self-raising flour  
  • 150 gm caster sugar
  • 100 gm white chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 200 gm strawberries, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 250 ml milk
  • 1/2  cup canola oil
  • 2  tsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
Method
  1. Whisk lemon juice, milk, oil and egg in a bowl till well combined.
  2. Sift flour with salt, mix in sugar and white chocolate.  Stir to combine.
  3. Add in the chopped strawberries.
  4. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture.  Stop stirring once the ingredients are combined.  Do not overmix.  Batter should be wet and lumpy.
  5. Scoop batter into patty tins lined with paper cups, level the surface.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C for 20 to 25 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Note:  If using 300 gm plain flour, add in 4 tsp baking powder, sift together.
           These muffins are at their best on the day they're baked.

    Yum! Love white chocolate and berries in muffins. Never tried strawberries though, always use raspberries :-)

    I'd love to try with raspberries, but they're super expensive in this part of the globe!

    cheah, they look so moist and i love the colours? do you find them sweet? i once baked white choc cookies, maybe it's the sugar plus the white choc, they turned too sweet for me.

    No, they're just nice, because the strawberries were on the sourish side. The white chocs did blend well with the strawberries. Moreover, there's the addition of lemon juice.

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
