Exhaustion...

Girl is feeling strangely exhausted these few days...this ill-timed fatigue is incredibly frustrating as Girl has things to do and places to be...!! Not to mention cakes to make and cookies to try!


Girl tried to muster up some enthusiasm and make her beloved honey hazelnut muffins this evening but all she got were these little hard discs that could probably have passed as mill-stones...!





Compared to the muffins from the first attempt at this recipe...


The reason for the vast difference in result? Girl isn't quite sure...but this time, she omitted the sugar from the recipe and did not beat the mixture quite as thoroughly. Girl also did not sift the flour and baking powder and swapped the hazelnuts for walnuts. Moral of the story? Never bake when tired...it is merely a waste of ingredients...

Oh...and another thing...read recipe carefully (do not confuse with recipe for another cake) and don't tinker with it too much!


PS: Experienced bakers out there...lets hear from you!! T_T
