Doughnut Muffins aka Duffins.

Hello world, well it has been a long while since we posted something on here. 
The Joneses are still baking mad... that will never stop.

So these new hybrid baking trends are being created, now here is a recipe for something I tried a while ago called 'Duffins'. Yes a strange name but they are a tasty twist on doughnuts baked like muffins. Please give them a go!


Ingredients 

• 140g  caster sugar, plus 200g extra for dusting
• 200g plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 100ml Buttermilk ( Alternatively you could use 100ml natural yogurt)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 140g butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
• 12 tsp seedless raspberry jam

Pre Heat your oven to gas 5/ 190c grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Put 140g sugar, flour and bicarb in a bowl and mix to combine. In a jug, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Pour the jug contents and the melted butter into the dry ingredients and quickly fold it all in with a metal spoon to combine.

Divide two-thirds of the mixture between the muffin holes. Carefully add 1 tsp jam into the centre of each, then cover with the remaining mixture. Bake for 16-18 mins until risen, golden and springy to touch. Leave the muffins to cool for 5 mins before lifting out of the tin and rolling in the extra sugar.


There you go... please try the recipe and see what you think.
