Usage notes

To make 6 muffins: Take 200 g (1 cup) of mix. Put mix in bowl, make well in middle. Add 175 ml (3/4 cup / 6 oz) of water, and 1 tbsp oil. Stir just to blend thoroughly. Divide amongst greased muffin tins or ungreased silicon muffin cups. Bake: 20 to 25 minutes at 175 C / 350 F, or until a skewer comes out clean in middle.

To make cornbread: Take 400 g (2 cups) of mix. Put mix in bowl, make well in middle. Add 350 ml (1 1/2 cups / 12 oz) of water, and 2 tbsp oil. Stir just to blend thoroughly. Pour into greased 20 cm / 20 cm (8 x 8 inch) pan Bake: 35 to 45 minutes at 175 C / 350 F, or until a skewer comes out clean in middle.

Options:

  • If you need it to stay a bit moister, longer, then either add an extra tbsp oil  or 50 g ( 1/2 cup / 2 oz) of finely-grated carrot (half a medium-sized carrot.)
  • Try reducing water to 125 ml (1/2 cup / 4 oz) and adding 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) fat-free sour cream for a “cakier”, less-crumbly crumb.
  • You can use wheat germ instead of whole wheat flour.
  • Instead of oil, you could use melted butter, margarine or shortening.

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

Various studies through the years show consumers are not following science-based recommendations. They are not willing to change from old methods when science updates indicate new ones are needed. A large percentage are adapting recommendations in their own ways… Over half of home canners underprocess.”
