Pear & ginger muffins.

Excellent. One of the best so far. I’ve just had one and might have another, but maybe after dinner. 🙂

I’ve searched mojewypieki.com for something nice, midweek and not too expensive, as I happened to have some decent pears in the fruit bowl, that’s what I picked. I’ve managed to make the batter and put them in the oven while chatting with Mum- about cakes, of all things! Izzie got a birthday party invitation, which made her think of her own birthday in 2 months and a possible GREEN cake that I will be required to make for her. ( Spinach??????) 🙂

The batter for muffins took 250 g of plain flour, 2 tsps of baking powder, 100 g of caster sugar ( original recipe called for 150), 50 g of brown sugar( 75 in Dorota’s). 1 tsp of ground ginger, I added a tsp of ground fresh ginger too, that paid off with a nice zing of ginger instead of some traces of it. Then 140 ml of soured cream, 125 ml of oil, 1 tbp of honey and 2 whole eggs. When all the ingredients combined nicely in kitchen aid, I added 2 peeled and chopped pears, filled the muffin cases and sprinkled them with brown sugar. they baked in 190 degrees for about 25 minutes. Excellent!
