MMMMmuffins
If you were in Grade Eight Home Ec, you might have a take-home project to do on the weekend. Your teacher might require you to make a photo essay of the steps you took to make the Blueberry Muffins.
First, you preheat your oven to 400 F. (200 C), Then you line your muffin tins with paper liners. Then you sift together:
250 ml. of flour
50 ml. of sugar
1 ml. of salt
10 ml. of baking powder
Make sure you have invited a friend over who can interpret the numbers for you- because your mother runs an antiquated kitchen and only has Imperial measuring utensils. This friend might come in handy a little later also, when the muffins are baking.
Make a well in the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix:
1 small egg
125 ml. of milk
30 ml. of oil
Beat this together, pausing to pose for pictures every once
in a while. Don't forget to remind your mom that her job is to document this process - don't let her near the project. She must remain on the OTHER side of the counter-out of reach of any tools or ingredients.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry
ingredients and mix until just moist.
Then pour
125 ml. of blueberries into the mix
and stir it up until
the berries feel included - but haven't 
taken over, if you know what I mean.
Measure out the batter into the muffin cups,
and put them into
the oven.
Go sword fight with your friend for 20 minutes and come back to see if the muffins are done.
Test them with a tester and find out that they are!
And they sure look good. Take them out of the oven and let them cool on the counter.
Remember to put one away to show to your teacher, and hide the rest from your brother, who LOVES blueberry
muffins.
