Nigella Lawson. Author of numerous cookery books. Star of a quite watchable cookery show, which tends not to be difficult stuff. Daughter of an utter git.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than writing about her, I thought I’d just post some pictures of this morning’s bakery – pear and ginger muffins, from “Nigella Express”, a favourite in our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If Nigella, or her publisher, object to me showing this one example recipe, will they please tell me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will notice that I annotate recipe books, as how else can you remember how to make the recipe better the next time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To save time this morning, I did the preparation last night.The bowl contains flour, sugars, baking powder, and ground ginger. The jug was in the fridge all night, and contains vegetable oil, yoghourt and kefir (instead of sour cream), honey, and two large eggs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the jug into the bowl after peeling and chopping the pears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mix it all together, and spoon the result into the muffin cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkle brown sugar on top, and put them in the oven for 20 minutes. You may have noticed that I annotate recipe books. It’s a good way to remember little details that make things work even better when you use the recipe again. I already said that, but I wondered if you were paying attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm, not too shabby! Thanks to doing the preparation the night before, I was able to do this even without having a coffee first. They do go rather well with coffee, for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
