My muffins

Lemon muffins with white chocolate

1 lemon
3 eggs
300 g sugar
100 g oil
280 g flour
1 ½ tablespoon of baking powder
200 g sour cream
80 g white chocolate

  Butter forms for muffins. Heat up the oven to 200 degree. Grate the lemon peel and squeeze the lemon. Combine the eggs with the sugar and beat up until fluffy. Add the oil, the lemon juice and the peel. Stir everything.
 Sift the flour and the baking powder and put it in the egg mixture. Stir with hand. After that add the sour cream and stir again. Cut the chocolate into small cubes. Put 1 spoon of the dough in the forms, after that put a chocolate cube and dough again. Bake about 20-25 minutes.




  I did my muffins in different way. I didn’t put the lemon peel because I don’t like it. And I didn’t have white chocolate and used normal one. I had flour which raises itself so I used it and didn’t put baking powder. My muffin forms were very small so I made a lot of the dessert. It was simply delicious.

Cooking with friends

My friends and I cooked some dishes the day before. We made two salads, one main course and one dessert.

the salads
 The first one was Mexican salad. We had the recipe but my friend who did it put a lot of everything. Instead of one pickled cucumber he put a whole jar. He also put much cooked corn, red beans, peppers, hot peppers, ham, mayonnaise and savory. He could hardly stir the dish because the plate was overfilled.


The second salad was red and green peppers and onions. We combined the peppers, the onion and vinegar. For decoration we put one hot pepper chopped up as a parting in the middle.

The main course
      The main course was the vegetarian lasagna. I have already posted the recipe for the lasagna- you can see it somewhere below on the page. Here are some photos from this one ;)



 The dessert

It was a chocolate soufflé. I’ll write the recipe.
Products:
200 g black chocolate
200 g butter
7 eggs
270 g sugar
125 g flour
50 g cocoa
Heat the oven up to 225 degrees. Cut the chocolate in pieces and melt it with the butter over hot water bath. Mix the eggs with the sugar until they look like foam. Add the chocolate mixture, the flour and the cocoa. Coat 8 plates with butter, fill them with the dough and bake. Serve the dessert cooled.


                                                                                                             

 and now look our whole table (looks tasty) :)

Products:
¾ teacup of melted butter
1 teacup of sugar
3 eggs
3-4 apples
2 teacups of flour
50 g raisins
1 pocket baking powder
1 coffee spoon of cinnamon
Lemons
1 teacup of wine
Salt
½ pocket biscuits

 Wash the raisins and add them into the wine. Crack the biscuits to smash them to dust. Peel off the apples, grate them, squeeze half of the lemon and mix it with the apples . Mix the eggs with the sugar, add the butter, the peeled apples, the biscuits, the grated lemon peel, the salt and the cinnamon. In the end add the flour with the baking powder and the raisins. Put the mixture in buttered baking dish and bake it 20-30 minutes. Take the cake out, leave it to cool down. After that put it in big plate and powder it.




 I made this dessert yesterday morning. When I made the mixture I realized I have forgotten to put the biscuits and put them in the end. I didn’t put a lemon peel because I don’t like it. The pie turned out to be tasty J
