Week ending 7th September

After a couple of weeks away with my grandchildren I have had a baking day today at home ..... I did make some mini muffins with Max (grandson aged 2 3/4) just before I came home on Wednesday, and today I have made a white loaf, an apple cake, some banana and blueberry muffins and some ice cream cone cakes. The loaf, apple cake and ice cream cone cakes are all from recipes from Jo Wheatley's book A Passion for Baking Jo's Blue Aga and from her column in Sainsburys magazine. The muffins are a variation on a favourite banana loaf recipe adapted by me for muffins and with blueberries added, they are very moreish and will definitely do them again.

First up the mini muffins, aided and abetted by Max, he took great pleasure in accurately placing the maltesers in the centre of the muffins. The recipe said 24 mini muffins but I had enough mixture left over to make 3 adult sized ones too ;-)
