Blueberries Muffins
Recently just in hook for baking and cooking. If not for my sickness, I think i will cook and bake more. Need to stop for awhile at this moment before recover. Ok, dont wish to talk much about my sickness. Just make me feel so sian about it.
This time round, I decided to bake muffins. Searching for recipes online and find which one is the best. Still prefer the Noob Cook's method. From here just get to know that Blueberries are in the season now. (May - Sept) so you can easily get from any supermarkets. I got mine at NTUC for $2.65 per box.
Went to Phoon Huat to get the muffins tins too. Sad that the shop at Bedok had closed down and we had to went over to Simei. Luckily is near if not I think I might give up doing it. But love this shop now, it had all the ingredients and stuffs that we can easily get and no need to run over places to search.
Recipe Source from Noob Cook
Ingredients (13pcs)
1) 190gm plain flour
2) 1 1/2 eggs, beaten
3) 1/2 tbsp baking powder
4) 225gm caster sugar (depends on the sweetness you like, decide to try out 210gm next time)
5) 125gm blueberries
6) 125ml milk
7) 1/2 tbsp vanilla essence
8) 75gm butter, cut to small pcs and soften at room temperature (Noob Cook recipe indicated 65gm but MIL prefer more buttery. Going to try out 70gm next time)
Directions
1) Sift flour, baking powder, and sugar together, mix well.
2) Add in milk, vanilla extract, eggs and butter. Stir until just blended (and lumpy). Be careful not to overmix as it will result in a tough mixture
3) Fold in the blueberries into the mixture. Place baking cases in muffin tins. Spoon the mixture into the cases almost to 80%.
4) Bake for 20 mins in preheated oven of 200C (400F) or until slightly golden brown. Allow to rest for several mins before serving.

Pazzion
The 2nd time I bought heels at Pazzion. I also like the grey color version for this. Still pondering should I go ahead for the grey?
Magnum Ice-Cream - 1 for 1
NTUC is now having promotion on Magnum Ice-Cream for one for one. Too bad they dont have the dark chocolate.
While waiting for us to end our shopping, Bb was camping beside the Magnum Ice-Creams. He told me that the ice-creams had to be the last one to take before we went to the counter to pay.
