Muffins

So, what is the best cure for me if I have a bit of anger, boredness and restlesness boiling inside?? Baking! Obviously...

Here is what I came up with this evening:

Orangemuffins with marcipan&chocolate!!! (Norwegian receipe further down)

The dry ingredients:
250 g flour
2,5 teaspoons bakingpowder (evt. 2 ts bakepulver + 1/2 ts natron)
175 g sugar

100 g soft butter

The liquid ingredients:
The grated peel of two oranges (grate before you squeeze and cut the orange; it's much easier! It should be around 1 tablespoon of grated peel...)
2,5 dl orange juice (preferably freshly squized - it takes 2 oranges, like the two from which you just used for the grated peel ;) )
1 egg
a dash of rum if you have (not necessary, just makes the muffins fluffier)

The tastestuff:
50 g chocolate, chopped into chocolate chips
A handful of marcipan, in small pieces (however much and big you like it!)

Mix the dry and the liquid ingredients separately; knead the butter with the flour, sugar and baking powder, then pour the liquids into the dryes. Mix it carefully - make sure you don't stir it to hard, or the muffins will be a bit daft... Add the tastestuff, blend carefully and pour into muffinforms!

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 200 degrees (Celcius), til they are brownish and thorougly cooked.


Norsk

De tørre ingrediensene
250 g mel
2 ts bakepulver
1/2 ts natron
175 g sukker

100 g smør

De flytende ingrediensene
Revet skall fra 2 appelsiner (ca. 1 ss; riv skallet før du deler og presser saften!)
2,5 dl appelsin juice (helst ferskpresset - for eksempel kan du bruke de 2 appelsinene du nettopp har revet skallet av ;) det blir ca. 2 dl )
1 egg

Smaksingrediensene:
50 g hakket sjokolade
En håndfull marsipan, i biter

Bland de tørre og de flytende ingrediensene hver for seg; kna smøret inn i melblandingen, lag ei grop og hell i de flytende ingrediensene. Rør det forsiktig sammen; det gjør ingen ting om det er litt melklumper igjen. Bland i smakene, og hell over i muffinsformer (som f.eks røde silikon hjerteformer som man får i presang av Tiril!).

Bak ved 200 grader i 12-15 minutter; til de er litt brune på toppen og gjennomstekt.
