a late night recipe
Mood: better! (They're making a movie of Rent, thankyouthankyou ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm about to go off to bed, despite the fact that my darlingdarthrami, normally so efficient in her sisterly duty of thwarting timezones and making me get enough sleep, is blatantly encouraging the misuse of my last five days of break :D
However, I managed to work off some of my bad mood in the kitchen, and produced some impromptu muffins that I was quite proud of. I shall air my domestic icon and give you the recipe and 'impromptu muffins' really needs to be an LJ interest, don't you think?
- Preheat oven to somewhere between 180 and 190 degrees celcius - I forgot this step and did it in a panic with butter-bedaubed fingers, thus the vagueness of the heat. Grease up a 12-hole muffin tin, or bribe a smaller sibling into doing it for you.
- Chop up somewhere in the vicinity of 80g of butter, microwave until just melty and soft, rub it into 2 cups of self-raising flour in a large bowl until everything is pale yellow and crumbly. Yell loudly at cat and wave yeti-fingers of butter and flour at it when it tries to lick your muffin tray. Spend five minutes getting gunk off your fingers with paper towel and hot water.
- Drain a small tin of corn kernels, mix into flour. Look for cheese to grate, discover only cheese in house is pre-sliced Jarlsburg. Chop three slices up into small pieces with kichen scissors, feeling slightly ridiculous, mix into flour ('bout a quarter of a cup of grated cheese, for the organised). Add a good few shakes of hot paprika and a teaspoon or so of what I'm fairly certain was dried, crumbled sweet basil. Stir.
- Beat an egg in a smaller bowl, add a cup of milk. Pour this into a well in the main mixture and stir until a gloopy lumpy mess. Mmmmmm. Divide mess between muffin holes.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Eat at least two while they're hot and then hide them away in a tin somewhere before the cat can get at them.
Cooking is such an exact science.
