Muffin Assesment

For our muffin Assessment I am making raspberry and chocolate muffins. This was the first lesson we started doing the assessment and I was making my muffins. Josie was my partner so while I was making them she would be helping me.
The oven was as usual heated to 180 degrees celcius before we started cooking. I first made the basic muffin mix with self-raising flour, caster sugar, milk, eggs and melted butter although before I put in the milk, egg and butter I added 2 tablespoons of cocoa which was one of the ingredients I asked for. While I was doing this Josie put 12 patty pans onto a muffin pan. After this I added choc chips and mini marshmallows to the mixture. Everything was then mixed together. The raspberry's had to be put in next but I had to make sure I didn't stir them too much or else the raspberry's would break apart. We then put the mixture into the pan. There was left over mixture so we could make 6 more. They then went into the oven. While they were in the oven we did the washing up. After the usual 25 minuets I felt the top of a muffin to see if it was firm and ready. They ready and really good so we took them out. This is when I put one chocolate melt onto each muffin. They melted if you moved them around a bit. One raspberry and one mini marshmallow was then also put on top. Unfortunalely the 6 we made extra didn't have any topping as there were only enough for 12. The last thing we did was sprinkle some icing sugar on top. I then put my muffins into a container that I brought.

They ended up looking and tasting great.
Lucy was making her muffins opposite us and hers looked really nice too. Everybody's muffins turned out well. Next lesson I will be helping Josie make her muffins.
