Too-Easy Bluberry Muffins~

I have never make blueberry muffin before. Can you believe it...:p 
I have thought of making this muffin a few times but never lay my hands on it..until now WHY now??  Because...
when I first saw the 'Cook like A Star' blog hop in Zeo's place, I am so excited and wanted to join. I started to browser in Donna Hay website hope to find a recipe that I like and it is easy to follow. I found this:
To-easy Blueberry muffins - recipes by Donna Hay From Donna Hay- Fast, Fresh, Simple

~my frozen blueberries~

I said to myself, this is the one I want to make.
I live in Malaysia, in a very small town named Miri. It is very hard to get fresh blueberries here and not even frozen ones. The next day I went to the local fruit stall, guess what?? I am so lucky they sell fresh blueberries. I bought a box, came home and found that the recipe need 300 grams of blueberries and I only have 125 grams of a box. I packed and freeze the blueberries and hope to get another box the next day. Unfortunately, they are all sold out. I have no choice so I make half of the recipe.

Challenges comes again, hahaha what happen?? When I make the muffin I used bread flour instead of self raising flour (clumsy me)..the muffins turn out to be.... I guess you know what it became.


~the one with bread flour ...I used the wrong flour, I used bread flour instead of self raising flour~


 I can't join the blog hop with a unsuccessful Blueberry Muffins. I decided to make the muffins again. This time I get it right and it is really really muffin...just nice and it is just like its named 'Too-Easy Blueberry Muffin'... too-easy to make.



Too-Easy Blueberry Muffins 
This is the original recipe from Donna Hay recipes ..
Ingredients:
375g self-raising flour. sifted
1 tsp baking powder
220g castor sugar
125ml vegetable oil
1 egg
125ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g frozen blueberries
granulated sugar for sprinkling

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 180c (350F). Place the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl.
    Place the oil, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl and whisk to combine,
    Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
    Add the blueberries and mix to combine. 


~Adding in the frozen blueberries.~
Spoon mixture into a 12-hole muffin tin lined with paper patty cases. (I used silicone cups lined with paper patty cases)


~These are going to the oven..for 30 minutes. ~

    Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.


I am joining the 'Cook Like A Star' blog hop event for March 2012 host by Bake For Happy Kids....Oops!! I only realize that the collection is close :(
Anyway, I learn a lot from this recipe and I love to make this Too-Easy Blueberry Muffins again. Next time might try, change to other fruits that is more easy to get in my town.
No worries I wil try to join the next 'Cook like A Star' blog hop event...^^

  1. I like to bake with berries too. However the $ of any berries here(Kuching) is expensive! A box around 200g sure costs more than Rm15! Can't find frozen one. So not sure the $. Anyway how much you pay for the 125g blueberries ? Really like to have some of your lovely muffins ^^

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
