Apple and Toffee Muffins: They are good for everyone Everyone have their weak point, for me I always love the bake goods with apple, I love the taste of bake apple. But I have the problem most of the recipe for this kind of recipe will require cinnamon, which my sister (who is my best customer, haha) really hate it. So, if I want to make them, I have to promise not using it. But this muffin can pass her rule, because there is toffee bit in it and that’s my sister weak point, too. Apple and toffee muffins Pre-heat the oven to 19O°C 375°F/Gas mark 5. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a bowl, beat eggs with milk, sugar and melted butter. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases, filling them a quarter full, then top with a few pieces of toffee, and cover with the rest of the muffin mixture until the paper cases are half full. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Interestingly, our activity level is one of the most fixed parts of our personalities according to Dr. Additional Reading: Sources: Mark D.

Step-by-Step When I published my Chicken Curry photo on my facebook, Mamazieza had put her kind comment on that particular entry. She had said, why not put the curry in a bun. That rings a bell because I've came across this kind of recipe before. Only thing is, I can't recall where I've seen this recipe. So, I just have to 'do' it as I please.
