☯ oh Yoko

on the last day of the Summer holidays

we went to the Serpentine Gallery to see

an exhibition of Yoko Ono works

followed by tea and cake by the lake

we haven't eaten or made muffins for ages

my school friend Donna said so too

and sent me this > link  to a recipe of hers

I'm sure her recipe is healthier but we decided

to use butter and our own recipe

but with a nod to hers

thanks D!

coco cherry muffins

you will need ....

250g self raising flour

140g caster sugar

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

85g butter {melted}

200ml milk

2 eggs

a few tablespoons of dessicated coconut

{and some for sprinkling}

12 tsp of your favourite jam 

we used this sour cherry jam which we bought 

on our travels in Turkey

heat the oven to 200c/ gas 6

prepare a 12 hole muffin tin with greaseproof

or paper cases

weigh out all the dry ingredients into a large bowl

mix all the wet ingredients {except the jam} 

into a jug or bowl

then pour onto the dry

and stir until combined 

but don't over mix it!

put a tablespoon of this mixture into each muffin case

then a teaspoon of your favourite jam 

then cover with the remaining mixture

and sprinkle with more coconut

bake for 15 ~ 18 minutes until golden and firm

eat and sing this song 

{a jam for a woman too}
