Yup....it's a crazy day indeed! Made another batch of muffins. The blueberry is almost finished!
This time I was expecting good muffins, unfortunately I substituted plain floor for the left over bread flour which I still had on the shelf. I assumed that it should be ok, but I think when the recipe says plain flour, just stick to it, don't try to be too smart.
However, it still turned out ok, I only thought that the top looked a bit `hard'. The inside is still alright, soft and moist when piping hot of course! Extremely sweet for me, maybe for some it's just nice and I also cut down on the raisins and chocolate chips. I used `organic' raisins which cost a bomb! So next time I will just use those normal baking raisins...can't afford to bake golden muffins in the long run!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
(makes 8 muffins)

250g plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg, beaten
60g unsalted butter, melted
175ml milk
150g granulated sugar

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 180degC (350 degF).
Melt butter in a saucepan, over low heat, set aside to cool.
Sieve together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl.
Add chocolate chips, raisins and mix with a spatula. Make a well in the centre.
Place egg, melted butter, milk and sugar in another bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour. With the spatula, gently fold all the ingredients to form a wet batter. Just mix until the flour are incorporate into the batter. DO NOT Over mix.
Spoon batter into paper muffin cups. Bake for 15~20mins until muffins turn golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack.
