Life changing birthday present?

It was my birthday three weeks ago, on the 7th, but the present my mom and dad got me only arrived last week. I have told my parents that I don't need anything, but they got me something anyway. Before the present arrived my mom was like 'We thought about this a lot and in the end we got it. We really hope that you will like it and that is going to help you in one way or another. I was inspired by what you watch on the Internet'. I was very intrigued...I had no idea what they had got me...and how does it have a connection with the peeps I watch on the Internet. I was pretty excited because I usually always guess my presents but with this one it was a total surprise.

Easter Muffins - Recipe

Happy Easter!!

Every now and then I try to surprise my family with some sweets baked by me. It makes me very happy when somebody smiles because of something that I made. It could be a hand-made greeting card, a gift box, a cupcake..anything. I love making people smile   J

I got this recipe from here and I changed it a little bit. Instead of using a baking tin I used muffin cases and I added some raisins.

I really hope you will try this recipe sometime because it’s so so simple to make and it’s really tasty. 

Here are the ingredients that you will need:

• 170 g Self Raising Flour
• 170 g Caster Sugar
• 110 g Icing Sugar
• 50 g Raisins
• 170 g Butter
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• a pinch of salt
• 2 Lemons

After you have prepared your ingredients, preheat your oven to 180° Celsius

First you will have to melt the butter with the Caster Sugar on very low heat

                                                                                 

Mix all the dry ingredients together 

When the melted butter and the sugar have cooled down a bit, mix in the lemon zest and the eggs 

Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until everything is well combined  

 

Lastly add the raisins  

Pour the mixture into muffin cases and bake for 25-30 minutes

While the muffins are baking, make a lemon syrup by melting the icing sugar with the lemon zest on very low heat 

When the muffins have golden take them out and check if they are done with a toothpick (if the toothpick comes out dry, they are done)

Make a few holes in the muffins with a straw like so

Pour the lemon syrup in the holes that you created with the straw

Put raisins in the muffin holes to make it prettier 

Now taste your creation J  

I really hope my pictures were helpful and that you enjoyed this recipe.

I’m gonna post more recipes soon.

Here are my Easter flowers and a very happy chocolate bunny

Don’t forget to smile today :)
