Strawberry Muffins

My wonderful neighbour gave me 2 punnets of organic strawberries the other day. They were the freshest strawberries I had ever seen, and I’m not sure if it had to do with them being organic, but there were none of the sourness that is typical with most strawberries I had tried.

With such fresh ingredients at hand, I had to put them to good use, in the form of these cute strawberry muffins, or it will be a big waste.
I chanced upon this simple strawberry muffin at nibbledish and it was definitely the perfect recipe to use for the strawberries. I made minor changes to the recipe, and the end result did not disappoint – the muffins were absolutely delightful, perfectly risen and soft. For the extras, you can freeze them in sealed ziplock bags and toast them for a few minutes until warmed whenever you crave for a muffin or two. I hope you like this recipe as much as I do! ^o^
Hi! I just stumbled upon your site and I must tell you I am very impressed! The photos that accompany each recipe are stupendous..So glad I found you!! keep up the great recipes and thanks!!
Hi Mandy C, glad u like my site and thank you very much for your encouragement
Hi, i happened to pop into yr website, the food made me hungry …. can i know how much is 1 cup of flour u use in yr strawberry muffin? Normally i measure ingredients by grams or ml … many thanks …
hello kris, 3 cups is around
300g375g (see comment 41 and 42 below), you can also refer to this recipe where the same proportion of ingredients are used but halved (I have the measurements there in grams). Hope you like it!Hi
I’m very green in baking and found your recipe quite simple and easy. Would like to try out ASAP coz I bought strawberries yesterday. May I know how much is 2 cups custar sugar and 1 cup milk ? I used to measure ingredients by g/ml. I got strawberry essence, do I need to add as well ? Many thanks
Hi vincci, see my comment above yours, where I mentioned the proportions for the flour in grams. 1 cup milk is
200ml250ml (see comment 41 and 42 below). I’ll update my post too. It’s up to you whether you want to add the strawberry essence, maybe you can skip that since this is your first try, so that you know the original taste? Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know how you like it after you bake them :)Hi, wiffy
Many thanks for your prompt reply, can’t wait to give a try ^_^

there’s some inaccuracy in the cup to ml/gram measurements
1 cup of liquid is 250ml
1 cup plain flour is about 125g (unsifted)
1 cup castor sugar is about 225g
hi zy, thanks for your clarification.
after I see your figures, I measured the contents of my ingredients again and they are different from yours. I finally realised that all this time, I’ve been using a Japanese cup (versus a US cup). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28volume%29
I’m such a noob because I assumed that ‘cup’ is universal. I’ll try the recipe again based on the US cup measurements, maybe they will turn out even better. I’ll update the quantities again if necessary since the original recipe I based it on stated the ingredients in “cup” which I now assume is the US measurement. Luckily mine turn out quite all right but could have been better. Thanks again for your help!
hi wiffy,
i felt puzzled when i saw the conversions. haven come across a japanese cup yet. so far i have heard of the australian cup, US cup and the english cup.
australian cup – 250ml
us cup – 240ml/250ml (some sources state 240ml, some states 250ml)
english cup – 300ml
most recipes i come across use the 250ml cup.
For the butter ‘melted at room temperature’, i think you meant it to be ‘softened at room temperature’ ? melted at room temperature sounds like the butter will be oily and in liquid form or some ppl could read it as ‘melted and cooled to room temp’.
I like the pictures and layout of this blog. Great effort there!
cheers =]
I got my measuring cup from Daiso. The measurements (1 cup = 200ml) are the same as the cup that comes with my rice cooker, hence I thought that this is standard. I’m so noob :( Time to invest on a proper pyrex measuring cup.
I just made a batch of muffins based on the US measurements and they turn out much better http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiffygal/4284768950/ Thanks to you, or I may never have discovered the mistake, or discover it very much later. Thank you! :-)
hi wiffy,
I dont own any sets of measuring cup. Only have a measuring jug. Normally I find the conversions online and take the average figures in grams from various sources . All my baking sessions are done using weight measurements.
Looking at all the dishes you have whipped up, you arent really a noob. Pretty decent home cook I would say. When it comes to cooking, I have a lot more to learn. I am a real noob in cooking. Between cooking and baking, I engage in the later more often and enjoy it better.
Look forward to more kitchen adventures from you.
cheers =]
Yes from on, I think I’d stick to the weight measurements for more precision.
I find that baking is more difficult than cooking. So I’m sure if you can bake well, you can cook well too, hehe
Thanks again :)
Hi May I know where did you buy your muffin cups?
Hi heike, I bought them at Phoon Huat. They sell a lot of baking stuff there.
