Homemade Muffin Mistake

It's been the first week back at work and it is painful!!!! Body shock compared to the three weeks I've had off with my lovely family and friends so I haven't been cooking as much as I would like. However, I did have a go at chorizo and cheese savoury muffins which I love and rarely make. I experimented with a new recipe which was absolutely delicious but I made the huge mistake of putting the mixture in muffin cases which they stuck to. When we attempted to get the muffins out of the cases, it ripped off most of the bottom. I have learned my lesson, so next time I will put the mixture in a greased silicon muffin tray which will make it easier to get the muffins out.

Although I had a bit of a disaster with this one, the mixture was so tasty I would recommend making again and I am certainly going to. I had some egg whites left over from making ice-cream and thought I would use them in this recipe as that would make them a bit lighter. I was surprised at how well that worked. If you don't have egg whites though, just use 2 eggs whisked into the milk.

 They don't look like much, but they' are pretty tasty.

Cheesy muffiny goodness. 

If anyone can give me tips on how to photograph food, I'd really appreciate it.

Ingredients
230g Self raising flour
120g chedder cheese, cut into cubes
50g chorizo sausage, cut into cubes
1/2 courgette, grated
185ml milk
5 egg whites
2 tbsp mango chutney
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp bicarbinate of soda

Pre-heat your oven to 170C fan, sift the flour and bicarb into a bowl, then add the spices, cubes of cheese, chorizo and courgette and mix so everything is coated in the flour. Whisk the egg whites until they're fluffy and make peaks. Pour the milk into a jug and mix in the mango chutney, then pour this into the flour mixture and give a could stir with a big metal spoon. Fold in the egg whites until completely incorporated. Spoon into a greased silicon tray, NOT muffin cases, and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they can turn quite quickly.

And the soundtrack for this session was one of my favourite classics, Queen. One that I particularly love is this song, Too Much Love Will Kill You from the album Made In Heaven. Enjoy.
