Simple Pumpkin Muffin  ~   简单的南瓜玛芬   



Ingredients

  • 200 gm plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1.1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 'L' eggs
  • 75 gm brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 75 gm caster sugar
  • 60 ml milk
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 280 gm pumpkin puree (from fresh pumpkin)
Method
  1. Cut the pumpkin, remove the stringy core and seeds, steam till soft.  Scrape up the soft pumpkin and use a fork to mash up the pumpkin or you can puree it in a blender.  Measure out 280 gm.  Set aside.
  2. In another mixing bowl, whisk flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  Whisk till well incorporated.
  3. In another mixing bowl, whisk oil, milk, eggs, vanilla, brown and caster sugar till well combined.  Mix in the pumpkin puree, till well incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stir till just moistened.  Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into a paper lined muffin pan till nearly full for a puffy dome.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 20 to 25 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 mins. before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.  Muffins can be served warm too.
  7. Yield :  9 tall muffins

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
