The best Nutella muffins ever....

My friend Rebecca has been baking very good Nutella muffins for a long time I think. But one day, she found out she needed them to be egg and milk free. At the end of the story she found this wonderful recipe.

I have not baked them myself yet, but I have definitively eaten them and I could also have eaten more (not without consequences though... :O) ). But she does say that they were very easy to make and also resulted in a dough that also was easy to handle.
The best Nutella muffins


Ingredients
3dl (180gr) flour 
2dl (170gr) sugar
1dl cocoa

1 teaspoon bicarbonate
1 pinch of salt
2 1/2dl hot water
1dl oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
Nutella

Instructions
Turn on the oven to 225degrees.
Mix all dry ingredients. Add all fluid ingredients and mix. Put some of the dough in the forms and then put in Nutella. Cover with more dough.
Bake in the middle of the oven for about 12-15 minutes.

One thing though to remember for future usage: The small guys can be little sticky so it might be a good idea to use paper forms when baking them. They will not need to "break" while trying to take them out of the pan.

Cup for daddy...

And this is also the third try for daddy's cup (which shows my talents... :D ).

First one seemed to leak (leak, yes, you heard right...)... Second one was too heavy and it could not be used for drinking as it caused serious drooling (according to daddy at least). So now third try. Unfortunately, the teacher happened to think the blue colour I used last time was not much enough for further glazing and she mixed it with some yellow stuff. Still the quantity available was ridiculous after the addition also. But, hey, yellow and blue are daddy's favorite colours as they remind of the Swedish flag. So said and done.
Due to the lack of glaze, the result was not ideal, but, hey, again, yellow and blue can never be wrong. Or? :O)

 This time it was a thrown cup. The other one I did by hand and was much taller and thinner. From the above, it looks more straight than from the side really. And with some suitable lighting, you do not even see the flaky colouring... :O)
 But if there is drooling involved this time also, I will start worry if it really has something to do with the cup... Right, daddy? :O)
