Everyone likes a good muffin don’t they? I certainly do. Love making them, eating them and now, inventing them!
It’s a question I posed to some friends in Paris on one of my more ‘silly’ days. You know, those days where you just can’t stop laughing, making stupid jokes and being inquisitive. For those of you that don’t, let your hair out one day and start living. Anyway!
My ultimate muffin? Well firstly when I posed the question to one of my friends, her response was:
“Chocolate.”
“Chocolate.”
“Okay, details please...”
“Chocolate, lots of chocolate.”
“Well hang on. Dark, white or milk? Or all? And what about the batter, is that chocolate as well or just plain with choc chips?”
***This is the kind of detail I’m looking for people!***
“Okay. Every type! Chocolate batter as well!”
So that was my first response to the question.
My ultimate muffin is this!
Cinnamon, blueberry and apple batter. Fresh and largely cut pieces of blueberry and apple. Topped off with a sugar and cinnamon coated top. The top is my favourite bit really. Crusty sugar coated and with apple and blueberry’s through it; heaven!
Have I found this muffin yet? Yes. Once or twice I’ve come across muffins of this description. You always seem to find them in the most unexpected places as well. My best baguette to date, which is for the record chicken breast, lettuce, mayonnaise, cheese and tomato, was from a small little store at the train station in Barcelona.
Yeh, thought you should know all that :)
Mine would be a Pear, Ginger and Almond. I hate a muffin that is too much like a cake, so the batter needs to be wholemeal but still sweet, preferably with honey, rather than sugar... And have texture. YUM! I want to eat one now...
