Peach Muffins





On a relaxing summer day, I had the pleasure of baking delectable peach muffins which came out as total happiness from the small oven. I baked 31 mini muffins and one large one, in honor of my baby cousin's 2nd birthday. I don't have step by step pictures for this recipe, but it sure turned out great! Now, here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
-2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 cup sugar
-1 tsp baking powder
-2 tsp ground cinnamon
-1/2 tsp salt
-3 regular eggs
-3 tablespoons of butter, melted
-1 cup sour cream
-1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-1 peach chopped into small pieces


Procedure:
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Use another bowl to mix eggs, butter, sour cream, and vanilla. Add in the peaches and fold them in.
Add the wet mix to the dry mix. Stir together until blended. Do not overmix.
Scoop muffin batter into non-stick muffin pan, just enough to fill each cup. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
If baking mini muffins, bake 20 minutes. If baking large muffins, bake for 30 minutes. 
Let cool for 5 minutes.
Ready to eat!
Miniature peach muffins!


Brown sugar, flour, and butter topping.

Pumpkin Pie

I don't have any recipes or whatever to share today, but for dessert I had the joy of enjoying a nice slice of toasted pumpkin pie with generous amounts of whipped cream. And of course, now I'm inspired to bake pumpkin pie. While I'm not exactly professional enough to think up my own recipe, I definitely WILL try to bake a delicious pie some day. I found a pretty nice recipe for pumpkin pie here: Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie. :) This isn't exactly the most meaningful post today, but I sadly have no recipes or baking experiments to share.
But.. upcoming.. I'll be making peach muffins with streusel topping. That'll sure be a generous serving of happiness. :)

Baked Curry Triangles

Here's a homemade recipe that I've grown up loving in the comfort of my home: baked curry triangles. My mom would bake these delicious goods for the family, and we'd enjoy them with happiness. :)
Ingredients:
-curry powder
-puff pastry squares
-1/4 of an onion(chopped)
-one egg
-1/2 to 1 pound of ground beef





Procedure:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Sautee ground beef and chopped onions together. Add curry powder to taste.
Divide about 5 pastry squares into halves(triangles).

Fold each triangle into another half, pressing the edges together, leaving an opening to fill with the curry meat. 
Fill the pastry with the meat and press the edges closed. 
Beat one egg. Coat each meat-filled triangle with egg using a brush. 
Bake until golden-brown. 



Enjoy your curry triangles!
Delicious happiness in an oven. :)
