Muffin's are good to start with as the ingredients are easy to come by and can be prepared in about 30 minutes. I was assigned to the bananas and popped them in while daddy mixed.
Daddy said the batter had to be both fluffy and thick enough to hold itself. Probing further the trick is when you scoop it up, the feel has to be light and doesn't drip too much.
The mixture is poured into a well greased muffin pan and placed in preheated oven at 160°C which is equal to 320°F for 20 minutes.
