Ingredients
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour, all-purpose
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips, semisweet
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.; line 12 medium muffin cups with paper
baking cups or grease bottoms only of muffin cups.
Beat milk, margarine and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients, all at
once, just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fill
muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden
brown.
Her notes:
* I don't use paper baking cups. I spray with Pam only the bottoms
of the muffin depressions in the pan. I always increase the amount of
chocolate chips and nuts a little because I like them and I usually
think recipes are chintzy with them.
* Use a fork to loosen them and tip them up in the pan as soon as
they come out of the oven. That way you'll get a crisper crust on the
bottom and sides.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and dill. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe.
