From the beginning

...whereby I am forced to have a germ of an idea of what to write. Obvious choice - food. Being raised in dairies, I can identify any chocolate bar at 20 paces - and - not only recognise it but know what it tastes like too.

Thought this would be a good site for people to add some of their favourite easy-to-make recipes.

So to start off....

The manatuous sweetcorn muffin recipe

Ingredients
1 tin of creamed sweetcorn; 2 beaten eggs; pinch of salt pepper and sugar;
4 cups flour; 2 tsp baking powder; 1 cup milk;
40 gm melted butter; 1 cup cheese; pinch of cayenne pepper.

Extras
Can add parlsey, finely chopped celery, broccoli, onion, mustard, bacon, ham, pineapple, etc. etc. etc. depending on taste amd what's in the fridge.

Method
Sift flour, baking powder, pepper, salt, and all other dry ingredients. Stir in the sweetcorn, cheese and extras. Add milk, beaten egg and melted butter.

If the mixture is too runny add a little flour or if too dry add a little more melted butter or milk. Spoon into muffin pans. Bake at 190 degrees C for 15-20 minutes until golden (may take less or more time depending on the size of the muffin pans - I always test with a skewer).

Good luck!
