Its been very exciting and thrilling for me that tomorrow is said to be a doomsday, but till now there are no such disaster going on here. What do you think guys, will the world come to an end or not?
Lets get rid of the doomsday, Probably you must be aware I am a craziest nigella lawson’s fan. I own pretty much all her cookbooks. Everytime i watch her cooking show or go through her recipe book, i feel like trying out all her recipes. The reason for that is the simplicity and the quick mode of her recipes.
This is one of the recipe from her cookbook, Nigella Kitchen. If you have not bought it yet, I highly recommend it..It is a amazing cookbook guys. I love it..
When i found this recipe in that cookbook, i wanted to try it immediately. Because it is so easy to make, i pretty much had all the ingredients on hand. So i tried it immediately. The muffins turned out so great. It was perfect with a cup of chai or coffee, they were not too sweet, it was like a perfect muffin. So give it a try and let me know what you think.
