Can I request for the recipe? It looks so nice and fluffy!
Hi Aunty Yochana,
Can I use the same portions of ingredients and opt out the craberry to make a plain muffin?

BBerry
Dear Aunty,
Feel like having this for breakfast,
Did you get those paper cup from Taiwan? I've tried the tiramisu cupcake on your nov 06 posting, was
wondering which kind of whipped cream you used on the cream cheese frosting ?
Yvonne
Wow Aunty. This looks super soft! Like sponge cake (鸡蛋糕). I actually mistook them as panettone before i saw the heading... Really admire your skills.
Hi shiyan,
Yes it does look like panettone but it taste like cupcake - very soft in texture.

Hi Yvonne,
Use any Non-Dairy whip cream.

Hi bberry,

Hi Aunty
Can I trouble you to post the recipe? The texture seems moist and nice... ; p
Last weekends, I bought few cranberry and blueberry muffins (deceived by its outlook), the texture of it was so dry and hard! : (
Thanks!
Can I use normal baking powder instead?
Hi Aunty
Thank you for taking the time out to post this lovely recipe for us... : ) muaks!
mj,
yes you can use normal baking powder but add heaped instead of level.

Hello,
May I ask how many muffins the recipe makes? And also if I can substitute cake flour with normal flour. Thanks!
Hi Hazel,
How many it yields depends on the size of the muffin cups. Mine is about 11 nos.
Yes you can use plain flour.

Hi Aunty Yochana
Just would like to confirm the 200 gm milk is equal to 200 ml of milk.
And for muffin, what type of milk is the best.
Thank you.

Josephine Seow
Hi Josephine,
ml = gm. (it's the same). Any UHT milk will be just fine.

Hi Aunty, for the dried cranberries, can I soak them in water first to soften them before adding them in? Or should they be added in dried? Thanks!
Hi Hazel,
You can soak the dried cranberries in the milk for half an hour or more.

Hi Yochana,
is it ok if i use planta margarine instead of butter? will it taste the same?
Hi Anonymous.
Yes you can use margarine. Butter will be a better choice in terms of taste and smell.

Dear aunty
my muffins were soft n fluffy when fresh out of the oven but turned hard and heavy the next day, sigh! I added some flour and milk to the butter mixture,blend and repeat the process about 4 times until all the flour and milk are used up. Hv i overmixed? Pls advise me. Tk u, have a nice day!
Hi MJ,
Instead of 4 times addition, just do 2 times addition will do. I think it's a sign of overmixing.
rgds
dear aunty
tks 4 e v prompt reply! I'll try again cos my kids love them (even when they were hard and heavy!)
Hello aunty yochana
are baking powder and double action baking powder interchangeable? Phoon Huat only carries the double action variety and the sales lady said they are the same thing. Is it true?
hi erica,
There's single and double action. Double action are especially good for pows..
Double Acting" baking powder adds another dimension. Not only does it start reacting in the bowl as with baking soda and "single acting" baking powder, but it also reacts a second time when it is cooked. This is achieved by the addition of slower reacting acids to the single acting baking powder, which hardly react at room temperature. These only become active once they achieve higher temperatures. So it has a double action - once when subjected to moisture in the bowl and once when subjected to heat in the oven. This quality means that the rush to mix and get it into the oven is avoided, which is especially useful if there are many ingredients which need thorough blending.

Hi aunty yochana
tks for the explanation! so if a recipe calls for baking powder, is it alright if i use double action baking powder?
yes erica,
double action for muffins is good.

hi aunty Yochana
Tk u!
Hi Aunty Yochana,
Thanks for the delicious recipe.:) my muffins were soft n fluffy when they were out of the oven from the first 3-4h.However, it turned hard and heavy the next day.
Pls advise how to maintain the softness of the muffin if i leave them for the next day.
Appreciate your help.
hi wl,
When the muffins cool down, keep it in a container. Muffins are best eaten on the same day of baking and normally it becomes hard the next day.
rgds
Hello Aunty Yochana,
The muffin is fantastic but again my crust is quite hard :(
Hi Vi Vian,
May I know at what temp. did you bake it and for how many mins?
rgds
Hello Aunty Yochana,
I have put it on 180C and for about 20 - 23 minutes.
It taste wonderful apart from that.
