Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

Pumpkin Muffins

I used this recipe: 


Pumpkin Ginger Nut Muffins Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin purée
1/3 cup melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
2 Tbsp well chopped candied ginger
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
2 Mix the pumpkin, melted butter, eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, until just incorporated. Do not over-mix. Fold in the candied ginger and chopped nuts.
3 Spoon mixture into a prepared muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, it's done. Cool on a rack.
Makes 12 muffins.
But you know Corbyjane can't follow directions, so...
* I used whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup melted butter
* didn't measure the cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger and used "Pumpkin Pie Spice" instead of allspice.
* No candied ginger or nuts

Also it didn't make twelve it made ten. Aaaaaaand I cooked it for 24 minutes.


I can't take good food pictures like Maren can... But they turned out awesome, moist and fluffy. Definitely the best thing I've ever made not from a mix.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
