I have made these muffins so many times these past few weeks, eating it as is or using it as a base recipe and adding ingredients like sweet bell peppers or chopped chives to change it up a bit. 'As is' or with 'add ins', these muffins taste amazing, soft on the inside and crispy golden on the outside.

Great. In these days of lock-down I ran out of bread. Made these to go with lunch-time soup. Added chilli and spring onions. So easy to make and quicker than bread. went down a treat with all my family.

Flora says
My muffins stuck to the wrapper, I don’t know what went wrong
The Gardening Foodie says
Hi Flora. Thank you for giving my recipe a try. I am sorry that it stuck to the wrapper.
There are a few reasons why this happens and how it can be prevented the next time. It is best to allow the muffins to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing the wrapper. Trying to remove the wrapper immediately after it has been baked will cause it to stick to the muffins.
Another way to prevent this is to lightly spray the inside of the muffin wrappers with nonstick cooking spray before adding the batter. I do this whenever I bake cupcakes or muffins and it works without fail.
I hope that this helps answer your question 🙂

I use the patty pan for thee and once greased just before dropping spoonfuls into the patty pan I melt bovril and butter together and put a half teaspoon into the each patty pan and then the mixture. Once baked the cheese puffs soak up the bovril and butter . So yummy.
