Happy Spring!

The Manchurian Pear is awash in white
Snowdrops are poking their delicate heads out of the warm soil
Jonquils spread their delicious fragrance through our garden
The soft droning of bees fills the blossoming orchard

My favourite time of
the year has finally arrived.
Happy Spring!


Citrus Poppyseed Muffins

These muffins are delicious, and so easy to make!
When served fresh out of the oven they are crunchy on the outside, and scrumptiously light and fluffy inside.
Enjoy!


Citrus Poppyseed Muffins

125g soft butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 teaspoons grated lime rind
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2/3 cup castor sugar
2 eggs
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons poppyseeds

Grease 12 hole muffin pan.
Place the butter, rinds, sugar, eggs, sifted flour and milk in a medium bowl and beat with electric mixer until just combined, then beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth and just changed in colour; stir in poppyseeds.
Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Bake in moderately hot oven about 20 minutes.
Makes 12.
