Sunday Fun Day!
Hello
everyone,
Happy hump
day! Apparently because Wednesday is the "hump" of the
week (half way until the weekend) we should congratulate everyone for
making it this far! So as it's only two days away this afternoon I
thought I'd let you know what I got up to with my weekend!
I had a very relaxed weekend, didn't have much planned at all. Other than picking up my very first pair of glasses! I spent my morning baking my favourite muffin of all time, the lemon and poppyseed muffin! They were so scrumptious, my fiance has even been eating them for breakfast on his way to work! I am even eating one as I blog!
It was my first
attempt at making these muffins and I couldn't believe how easy they
were to bake! I did tweak the instructions slightly and next time I'd like to add lemon curd into the centre to make them that extra yummy!
Ingredients
-
- 320g plain flour
- 2 tbsps poppy seeds
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tsps baking powder
- 150g caster sugar
- 125g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 45ml lemon juice
- 210ml plain yoghurt (I changed plain yogurt for low fat lemon yoghurt)
- Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
- 100g apple, grated
- 100g pear, seeded and diced
For
the glaze -
- 125g icing sugar
- 1½ tbsps lemon juice
- 3 tbsps hot water
Step
1:Preheat
oven to 190ºC (Gas Mark 5). Combine all dry ingredients. Beat
together wet ingredients, combine the two and fold in fruit.
Step
2: Spoon
into a greased muffin tin. Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins are
golden brown and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Step
3: Mix
all glaze ingredients together. Add more water if you like a thinner
glaze. For a thick white glaze, add just enough water for the glaze
to have a rich consistency to dip the muffins into.
Step
4: Plunge
the head of each muffin into the mixture and allow excess to drip
back into the bowl. Place muffins on a rack to let glaze set.
