A recipe for date muffins
If there is one I would like to see happen in the book (aside from a happy ending where nobody important dies) it would be for some characters to go out on a nice nothing-at-all-untoward-happens date.
I doubt it will happen, especially as a certain pair are currently (as of City of Lost Souls) no more.
But here are some "I Wish For A Date" date muffins.
Ingredients
2/3 cups of soft brown sugar
125g butter, chopped
1 cup warm water
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp mixed cinnamon
ONE
line or grease a muffin pan
TWO
Place on medium heat.
Stir until butter and sugar dissolve.
Bring to the boil for a couple of minutes and then remove from heat and add baking soda (this will fizz)
Leave to cool for a half hour or so.
THREE
Set aside.
FOUR
Create a well in the center.
FIVE
Fold the wet ingredients until just combined. Batter might look lumpy.
SIX
Bake for 20 mins or until golden
SEVEN
Sweet and moist. Very nice hot or cold.
Store in an air tight container for up to three days
Freeze very well.
Edit - The book went fine and so did the batch of muffins that were baked.
