I do love gingerbread and cake,or anything ginger at all really. So when I chanced upon this recipe from BBC Food I thought I would give it a try. Now on the website it suggests that these are an nice alternative for Christmas baking. I say pish and tosh to that, they are a nice alternative […]
English Muffins, ideal for breakfast, or for Eggs Benedict, are known in the UK, or certainly always were as muffins. That name has been hijacked somewhat by the rather delicious sweet muffins these days. So for the purposes of this post I shall talk about English Muffins, even though it sticks, slightly, in my craw […]
I decided to experiment with muffins. I decided upon a vanilla muffin with a chocolate centre to see how that would work. They certainly look good, and have a gooey centre, though they are just a little too gooey to be able to peel from the paper. A spoon was necessary to eat the base, […]

The difference with this version is that it has two types of chocolate, firstly some very good cocoa powder in the batter and, secondly, 70% dark chocolate chips.
