(a) It was a good way of using up the old scraps of marmalade before diving into our new, homemade pots. (b) You picked the recipe, out of the old Women's Weekly muffins book.
Makes 12 enormous muffins, plus about 6 small fairy-cake sized ones. You'll need:
3 medium carrots, grated
385g self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarb of soda
100g brown sugar
55g raisins or sultanas
150g marmalade, warmed up a little so it's runny
100g butter, melted
125ml milk
2 eggs
Stick the oven on at about 180 degrees C.
Sling the flour, bicarb, sugar, raisins, carrots and marmalade in a bowl. Stir well, to create an unholy mess. You loved this bit.
Beat together the butter, milk and eggs in a mixing jug. Pour into the muffin mix, and combine everything together. It'll still look horrendous.
Spoon the mix into your muffin tins/cake cases, and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Obviously, if you're making fairy-cake sized ones, they'll bake faster than large muffins.
Cool on a wire rack.
They're delicious warm - especially for breakfast with a little yoghurt.

These seemed like they would be good-not sure what happened-they are dense & almost gloopy (cooked for the full time & checked with a toothpick (which came out clean) :(
Was really looking forward to these
Bad baking soda ....???
