blog to discovery

I have a team meeting this week, so decided to prepare some muffins for the team to eat as an incentive to attend; especially as the meeting is booked in for an hour longer than normal because there is a video conference to another team, on top of the usual meeting.

I decided to make peanut butter and snicker muffins, from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a domestic goddess (links: USA, UK) because they are a favourite with my husband as well as some team members
I have used this recipe a lot; so why did I burn them this time?

As my copy of the book is hardback, it is hard to use while cooking, and because I don’t want to get cake mixture on the book, I have copied the recipe on to a bit of scrap paper that I pull out each time I use it. From experience I know our oven is hotter than expected so I reduced the temperature by 30 degrees and the time by 10 minutes.
