peas porridge cold..... what do you do with porridge one day old..... MUFFINS... i'm not much of a cereal eater, but sometimes there just is nothing like a hot steaming bowl of porridge... i make my porridge with oats, raisins or other dried fruits and a bit of sugar.... sometimes adding some sort of spice like cinnamon or allspice or even the generic (store bought) apple pie spice... and always there is some porridge left over.. usually the puppies get it as a treat but today.. muffins!!! the recipe i used is 'doctored' as my per usual but the basis is from GRIT .. the recipe was easy and the muffins are tasty... in my recipe i used the cup of leftover porridge and added a scant cup of oats and reduced the buttermilk to 1 cup, to offset the already cooked and moist porridge... stirred it all together, cracked in the egg and added the sugar.. stirred till the egg and sugar were all mixed in... added the dry ingredients and mixed like regular muffins... baked at 400F for 15 mins.... yummy yummy....
yesterday i made the best bread i've made in years.. the weather co-operated, the humidity and temperature must have been favourable.. YAY my daughter gave me a great compliment.. 'those buns look and taste like what you'd buy in the bakery'... that compliment will be tucked in my heart for awhile!!! the bread i make in a very long smaller sized loaf pan... perfect slices for me....
