These are another lovely was to use rhubarb.

 

10 oz 280g plain flour

2 teaspoons 10ml baking powder

half teaspoon 2.5ml soda bicarb

half teaspoon 2.5ml (or less to taste) salt

3-4 oz 85 - 110g sugar

1-2 oz 30 - 60g flaked almonds

1 egg

5floz 150ml milk

5 floz 150ml fresh sour cream

half teaspoon 2.5ml almond essence

3 tablespoons 45ml corn oil

5-6oz 140-170g rhubarb chopped well (can also use peaches fresh or drained tinned)

 

sift together flour, baking powder, bicarb and salt then stir in sugar and almonds

 

in separate bowl beat together the egg, milk, soured cream, almond essence, corn oil and fruit

 

pour all the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir briefly with a fork until just combined and no flour can be seen, it should be lumpy, the less you stir it the lighter the muffins.

 

spoon into muffin cases and bake at 375-400 F or 190-200 C for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and springing back.

i bought some silicone muffin trays ages ago and still not used them, think i'll give this a go. Would ground nut oil or light olive oil be ok instead of corn oil do you think?

 

do they turn out nice and moist?

[chickencam]

Groundnut oil would be the better one, it will probably have less flavour than the olive oil.

 

I keep a bottle of corn oil just for muffin making.

Or Lidl do an organic cold pressed sunflower oil for 69p. I stock up when I go and keep it for making muffins.

We buy all our 70% chocolate from Lidl it is only about 60p and really nice. We don't feel so bad about cooking with it at that price and it is so much nicer than cooking chocolate. Being thin it does take ages to grate though

I'm glad you've posted this .

 

I made rhubarb muffins at the w/e and they weren't very nice . I just used the first Google recipe that turned up . They had honey as the only "sugar" and no oil .

 

We're managing to choke them down warmed up with icecream. ES won't eat them at all .

Hi

Ive been looking for rhubarb recipes as i have a family who think they dont like rhubarb so will be trying this recipe on them.

After searching the internet i made a rhubarb cordial. which is very pleasant and a nice pink colour. I've called it fruity cordial as otherwise no one would drink it!

 

Basically chop up approx 1kg rhubarb and place in a pan add approx 600g sugar and 1 litre of liquid (i think!- making sure the rhubarb is covered). Bring to the boil and simmer for ten minutes then leave to cool. Then drain through muslin - i used my sieve. Store the cordial in bottles in the fridge for up to two weeks. Dilute to taste.

I then used the rhubarb pulp to make a crumble! I have frozen a batch of the cordial for later - hope that works!

Sounds nice I might give that a go

Melted butter would be better! I always use melted butter for muffins. (Naughty but nicer I think)!
