Muffins

Last weekend, Sarah and I were quite busy in the kitchen. Sarah could do with some useful activities other than watching tv and dvd 24-7, so I suggested baking! We almost abandoned the plans when we found out there was just not enough ingredients to every recipe we chose. Until we saw this Chocolate Chips Muffins Recipe. Still, there wasn't any chocolate chips and yoghurt in the larder. We had to improvise.

I have always wanted a digital weighing scale. Babah has kindly bought an "Anthony Worral Thompson" one just to add up to my personal collection of his product. So that day, I proudly used it for the first time.

Sarah did all the mixing and whisking. She didn't let me touch the mixture as much as I didn't let her touch my brand new weighing scale.

Do you remember when I said in my previous post that Sarah just hates her photograph to be taken? But, she generously posed whenever she is baking. This is because the very first time I let her used the electric mixer, I had to bargain her with a smile for the camera. Since then, she automatically smiles when she is baking in the kitchen.

Just look at her, she insisted to pour the fresh milk and egg into the flour, butter and sugar mixture herself!

Little Amar wanted to help too. We could see he was very curious.

He tried to help, but Kakak didn't let him near the bowl! She said, "nanti tumpah nanti!"

This is the improvised bit, we didn't have any chocolate chips. So we grated the required amount of chocolate bars that we have in the cupboard.

That was the final stage before scooping into muffin baking tray.

I must remember to fill up 3/4 of the tray only next time. Just to give enough room for the muffins to rise nicely.

So here is the results. Overgrown muffins made by Sarah and her mama.


The verdict was simply fantastic simple recipe for any 3 year old child! (And, remember not to let Sarah lick the uncooked mixture!) We had a fun day making the muffins, we couldn't wait for our next baking project together.
