Being adventurous by adding in the white chocolate chips.The muffin turned out really well; being moist and chocolatey. However, the white chocolate chips addition were a big no no for the muffin. Definitely better off replacing them with nuts instead.
Moist & ChocolateyMuffins can be salty too right? LOLs.
I reduced the amount of sugar required by a bit too much (like half? oops.) and so, the muffins came out a little saltier than expected. Anyway, it was a good thing for my dad though since he's not too into this sweet tooth thingy ma jiggy.
Looking dry.
Not the inside though.Bought a couple of books over the weekend.
Pretty much done with "Harumi's Japanese Cooking by Harumi Kurihara" & "the Whimsical Bakehouse by both Kaye & Liv Hansen".
My 2 cents, both the books are great buys & would make great gifts for people who simply adore cooking and baking. Not only are the cooking instructions kept simple and straight forward; the ingredients used are common and can be found in most supermarkets, which is absolutely fantastic.
Was super excited and could not wait to try out some of the recipes from the whimsical bakehouse, but made some minor adjustments which for me, basically means deducting the amounts of sugar required/added. The final results came out very well and am super happy and excited. Will be posting the pictures soon.
Funny thing is, I love baking, but I barely eat cause I have never really had a penchant for sweet foods.
So stop reading, head to your nearest bookstore and knock yourself out.
Nothing beats the gift of food when it comes to celebrations with my parents. And this year, I prepared Japanese Shabu-Shabu for mother's day.
Beef Shabu-Shabu Slices.
Crab, anyone?
All set & ready.
