Mega Muffin 2

Cost:

Massive Muffin Pan – 99p
Cheapo Lidl’s chocolate – 4 x 38p

Everything else we had in the flat anyway – so effectively free.

I’d already done the science bit and work out that my usual 12 bun muffin pan filled my super-pimped out muffin pan twice over so it was a simple case of doubling up the recipe. I choose chocolate chip muffins because there seemed little that could go wrong.

That included:
510g plain flour (by the pimpest baker in the world – My main man, Fred [WormellaPimp2b.jpg] – Just look at that hat!)
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
300g sugar
2 eggs
480ml milk
170g butter
170g Chocolate

The Stuff

Pimped up kit, the trusty Kenwood – also a birthday present and finally some idea of what to do:

The Pimped-out Massive Muffin case was greased. Since it came from the 99p shop I wasn’t 100% sure it would survive the oven but never mind. The oven’s fan heated so I stuck it on at 200C to warm up.

First enough butter to kill a small child, melted and added to stupid amounts of Fred’ Phatest Flour

Mixed in the trust Kenwood

and poured into the lined Massive Muffin Pan

And into the oven

and then we waited….

.. And the disaster struck!!!

The oven was too hot!! A crust had formed and it stopped it from rising like a proper muffin should have. Emergency action was called for and the crust was sliced open, hoping it would let the muffin rise. The oven was turned down and I resumed watching day time telly, checking on the Massive Muffin every 20mins or so.

Finally – 40mins after the initial half hour cooking time: it was cooked through. And it only sank a little when it was carefully removed from the Massive Muffin Pan

A managed to hack a fair chunk out – I was hungry after all this.

To show you not only was it cooked though, but magically the majority of the chocolate had vanished. I think it’s fair to say Lidl’s finest isn’t quality cooking materials.

Last but not least I have a reference picture – note the size of the shot glass… Note the size of Massive Muffin
