Dear Pals,
Do you love baking? I love baking, baking utensils, books and everything. :) Though, I am a novice baker and slowly trying my hands in baking goodies too. I have started to bake with small steps. So, this time I have made a Lemony Raspberry Mini Muffins from Deb’s Smitten Kitchen. Most Americans (foodies) and other food lovers from all over the world knows about the Smitten Kitchen. She is just an amazing cook and blogger. Her blog contains an excellent recipes and I have an excellent stack of ‘Bookmarked’ recipes to try from her blog. ;) This is one of my bookmarked recipe. I made this Raspberry topped Lemony Muffins and it just came out great! My little kitchen was wafted out with lovely smell! :)
I love bite sized mini muffins than regular one. I bought mini muffin pan few months back and I love it! I tried couple of mini muffin recipes from different sources and will post it later. Today, you will enjoy this Lemony Raspberry muffins. I halved the recipe but followed closely the original recipe. They finished in no time. :)
Before you proceed to the recipe, read here. A good post about how to choose, clean and store Raspberry.
