muff-off
Some lovely muffins, this morning.
And so it came to pass that the jack off was followed with a muff-off.
Muffins. Simple baking, again allowing room for creative flair.
And what flair we saw.
The judges.
Our two guest judges, Ronnie and Nat, chomped, chewed and nibbled their way
through all the entries, marking on looks, taste and presentation.
Mr richard hooker attempted to steal the show with his "amazing exploding
muffin mountain" which contained fizz-candy laced muffins topped with
sparklers… like something from willy wonka.
Pyrotechnics.
But fancy tricks and gimmicks were no match for good solid taste, and it soon became clear we had a bit of a muff-battle on our hands/mouths.
Chris Groom's outstanding lemony muffs zinnged us. Ryan F's poppy seed treats wowed us and Sophie Piper's looked like they'd come from the shops. Ian followed his savoury burnt flapjacks with savoury burnt muffins, keeping his entries at a consistent standard. But In the end It got down to Helen's scone-like muffins and Gail's cherry and white choc chip beasts. With all her Scottish cooking skills, Gail pipped Helen to win the 2008 W+K muff off.
The winner.
Many thanks to queen of the muff, Sophie Bodoh, for organising it.
