Faraway Food
We are overjoyed that Mirra has returned to the bay to cook now that Gary Fishwick has left us.
We were all putting too much weight on with Gaz around and his amazing culinary skills. He has returned to his lovely wife Amy and their exceptionally cute 8 month old Kyuss. We will miss him.
But just when we thought we would lose a couple of kilos Mirra has started baking her irresistible muffins. She has the title here of being the Muffin Queen - and no one can refuse! One of her secret recipes is Orange and Chocolate Muffins. I managed to snaffle the recipe - but don't tell Mirra! And don’t lose this recipe - it is worth its weight in gold!
Bring a whole orange to the boil twice to remove bitterness from skin.
Mix 2 eggs, 230ml milk, 175ml vegetable oil and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup. Add whole orange and blend.
Mix in 3 ½ cups of self raising flour, 1 cup sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon and a BIG handful of choc chips.
Place a piece of thinly sliced orange dipped in sugar on each muffin before baking.
Bake at 200C until risen and golden brown.
Then enjoy!
