Lemony Blueberry Muffins



Just a quick update! I know I have loads to update and recipes to write here of my hits and misses of birthday celebration, but that will take me quite a while so I'll do a short update on blueberry muffins I made last Saturday morning.

I got the recipe from homemadewithlove, and I loved it! Gave a little tweak here and there out of convenience haha, so here's what I used:

2 eggs
1 cup white vanilla sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tub light sour cream, 250g
1 cup frozen blueberries, don't thaw
Zest of 1/2 a lemon
  1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, including the zest of lemon.
  2. Make a well in the centre of the bowl and add your wet ingredients: sour cream, oil, eggs. Mix well but don't over mix. The batter will be sticky and with low viscosity.
  3. Add blueberries last, only mixing into the batter with a couple of turns using a spoon, then spoon the batter in muffin cups.
  4. I got 9 big muffins and 3 medium sized muffins, it's supposed to make 12 normal muffins.
  5. Bake for 20-35 min at 180 degrees Celsius, depending on the size of the muffins. I think I took 35 or almost 40 minutes for these huge babies. The smaller ones took about 20-25 minutes? Do give them a poke to check!
I love muffins! Easy to make, fast to bake, and you can put anything inside! I love the muffin crown, the uneven surface that just looks so homemade. No frosting needed, just wonderful little cakes of yummy goodness.


Blueberry muffin batter ready for the oven. I used half cup to mix into the batter, and another half cup to sprinkle on top so it'll look pretty. Haha. Good thing they didn't sink!


Yummy muffin bursting out of their muffin cups, just the way muffins should be!


Breakfast awaits! Husband found the lemony taste weird, he didn't know there was lemon in it. Oh wells. This isn't husband approved cos it has berries and lemon. Haha! Next time I make a batch of muffins I'll make a chocolate chip version for him. Berries are strictly mine :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone.

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
