Last night I made the Baklava Muffins from How to be a Domestic Goddess using the original recipe – that is, with walnuts and cinnamon in the topping instead of substituting just almonds. (Almond Baklava Muffins)

I was in a rush baking them, because I wanted to watch Dirty Harry with my dad on DVD. They smelled great, and according to the family, they tasted good too. I asked my brother which version was better though, and he preferred the almond one!


3 muffins


3.5 muffins

I think next time I make these I’ll keep the cinnamon in, but use almonds. Walnuts are too soft and waxy, and basically disintegrate into the topping, so aren’t very crunchy.

QUOTES:

Mum: This version doesn’t look as nice as the first time, but they still taste good.
Dad: Beautiful.
Daniel: Oooh... she made more muffins!

Dad: I really shouldn't be eating so much.
Sarah: That's OK, I'll take some to uni tomorrow to share with...
Dad: NO! WE'LL EAT THEM!

Hehehe.
