Anna Olsen made a "strawberry muffin" on Cityline a while back(month or so). I tried it and followed the recipe exactly and they were terrible. No flavour whatsoever......therefore I threw out the recipe.
Those look amazing... what a perfect rainy afternoon for tea and muffins.

They are delicious. Thanks for sharing Pearl. ;)
