Monthly Mingle #1 - Football’s Coming Home

Meeta from What's for Lunch Honey?? is the host for the new foodblogging event; Monthy Mingle. This months' theme is, about FOOTBALL !! Now, we all know the FIFA World Cup is starting this 9th of June, no one shall miss such a important football campaign, that only happens once every four years. So, tuck into your couch with a bag of popcorns, and remember to apply MC or AL if there's an important match (HAHAHA I"m so bad.)

Anyway, this dish is suppose to be brought to the Final of WC. I don't know if it's a lucky thing or not, I will not be watching the Finals in Malaysia. I shall hunt a football bar or some place to watch in Sydney. Any suggestions ?? hehe

It's a jam-filled muffin, from Nigella's How to be a Domestic Goddess. It's called Jam-Doughnut Muffin, but, I did not add the sugary coat. Suffering from overdosage of sugar lately -.-" . So, it's just a muffin with jam in it!

As easy as the name, the ingredients and methods were.

125ml milk
85ml corn or other vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
200g self-raising flour
100g caster sugar
12 tsp of berry jam (i used cranberry jam)

With a fork, beat together milk, oil, egg and vanilla extract. Stir this into the flour and caster sugar to combine, the lumps don't matter. Remember not to overbeat or else the muffin would be tough. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup so that its just under a third full. then add a tsp of jam, then top with more muffin mix so that the cases are just about full.

Bake for about 20 minutes in a preheted oven of 190 C.

And in conjunction with the World Cup theme, I dressed my lil muffins with national flags of 12 countries..

lets see a cuter photo..


tadah.. aren't these cupcakes cute ? hehe..
Of course, if u were really to make this for the finals, then u can just put flags of the countries in the finals..

I might have added a lil bit more jam, those jam were spilling out! But i was craving for those filled-muffins. So there :)Have a wonderful time watching World Cup! May the best team wins!!!!
