Today is Ariella Wagerman's birthday, and so I am bestowing on her the huge honour of naming the best muffins anyone has ever made after her.
I think I'm morealess over my fear of muffins (although not the blueberry kind...they just seem like they have an agenda)
Ariella is one of my oldest friends and I see her for about 40 seconds every few months, but that's ok because we have a deep bond. The sort of bond that you get with a girl who gropes you in their sleep and then tries to avoid talking about it after.
Also, the girls face doesn't change. Ever. Here's our oldest and newest photos:
Here are some embarrassing facts about Wagerman.
1. She is a raging Harry Potter fan.
2. She is an AWFUL drunk.
3. She can never watch the X factor the same way again...
4. She nearly died. And I nearly died listening to the 3 hour long story.
5. Due to a camera swap faux pas, many more people have seen her topless than she would've liked.
Time to talk about MUFFINS.
Everyone likes these muffins.
They are maple and pecan, and they taste like a delicious Canadian man covered in syrup.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
350g flour
160g sugar
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
300ml milk
1 egg
70g melted butter
200g maple syrup
100g shelled pecans
1. Preheat oven to 170C. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
2. In a jug, whisk up the egg and milk, then stir into the batter.
3. Follow this with the melted butter and 100g of the maple syrup, stir in. (try not to eat batter)
4. Stir in the pecans, then spoon into muffin cases and drizzle with remaining maple syrup.
5. Cook for 20 mins, they should be bouncy to the touch and moist.
SO DAMN YUMMY.
