Hello aunty,

I was wondering if i could use self raising flour for this muffin - (happen to have leftover SRF). If it's ok, can i use the same amount of flour as per yr recepi? Any additonal baking powder or soda needed?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi devan,

yes you can use self raising flour. You can omit the baking powder or just add in 1 tsp. will do.

Hi Jutine,

You can omit the almond powder but increase your flour to 300 gm.

Hi Josphine,

No need to wash the peaches, just wipe it dry will do.

As for the ground almonds, add in together with the flour.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

I tried baking the peach muffins, however it didn't rise as high or split. Can you tell me what is wrong?

Many thanks ^_^,
pearl

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Pearl,

You mustn't stir too much making it very dense.

Stir lightly until just combined will do.

Hi Yochana,

When baking muffins, we use double acting baking powder or normal baking powder? What the diff? After trying still can not get nice shape muffins like yours.

Thanks

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi,

I'm too lazy to use both types of baking powder - single and double so I just use Double action baking powder for everything (Crescent Brand).

Hi Anonymous.

Yes you can even add in strawberries, kiwis or any fruit of your choice.

Hi Aunty!

Can I bake muffins without the muffin tray? Only with the paper liner itself?

Anonymous said...

Hi there!

How do I store muffins and cookies after baking? How long can it lasts? TIA..!

Anonymous said...

your recipe did not state 'Butter' in the ingredients but why does the method stated '(1) Mix melted butter wih sugar, salt, beaten eggs and milk.' ? Anyway, how much butter to put? salted or unsalted?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous

the butter has run up to the side of the photo and it states 180 gm unsalted butter.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I've try your recipe and it was great. Even my husband like it very much. Everytime I would bake other recipes, he would comment "there you go again" but when I said I'm going to bake this again he didn't say anything so I guess he really likes it. One thing tho, my muffins didn't raise up as high as the ones in your picture. On my first bake, i filled it only 2/3. Almost flat. On my 2nd bake I filled it to 3/4. it raise a little but not as much as yours. I didn't have almond powder so I used 300 grams cake flour as you advise one of your readers. Can you please help me on this? Do you advise to increase the cake flour?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi

Do not add too much flour , it will make the muffin hard.
Make sure your baking powder is still working and not expired.
When folding, do not overfold, just combined will do. A few streaks of flour left in the batter is ok. Once they are baked, it cannot be seen.
Try to get some ground almonds tho.

Happy baking.
