thought twentythree: French Breakfast Muffins

French Breakfast Muffins
Perfect for Brunch with good friends and a warm cup of coffee.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg (preferably room temperature)
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp cinnamon

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. In a large bowl sift the dry ingredients. Then add the wet ingredients stirring well to combine but don't over do it.
3. Line a muffin tin with cases or just spray with oil so they don't stick. Scoop the mixture in about half full.
4. Bake for 20-25mins or until the edges are golden brown.
5. For the topping: dip the muffin, whilst hot, in the melted butter and roll in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

thought twentytwo: perfect gift

So this is pretty much exactly the same as thought twenty but I thought I would share it anyway because I liked making it!

So my friend is off to Uni in September and I wanted to give her a little gift that would make her think of me. What better than a handmade teacup!

Here is how it went.
I wrote Matthew 5:14-16 around the edge of a teacup and saucer. Let me know what you think!

Thought twentyone: lemon and raspberry treats

Here is a recipe I created from things I love. The idea for the cookie cup came from Pinterest (if you press the centre of the cookie whilst still warm and soft, in the tin, it will create the perfect cup).

250 grams Mascarpone (or however much to fill the cookies, the measuring is rough)

4 tbsp Lemon Curd

1 tsp Lemon Juice (check the taste and make it as lemony as you want!)

Normal cookie dough (mine was ready bought. Just roll the dough into walnut sized balls and place in muffin tin, bake 10-15mins at 180)

Sorry this is so rough, it changes each time I make them!
