i love baking. i think it's beautiful. and yummy.

my muffin recipe:
2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 semisweet chocolate pieces (2oz)
4 tablespoons butter, melted, then cooled
1 egg, beaten
1 cup of milk

step 1: stir flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl (large is better)
step 2: stir in sugar and chocolate pieces
step 3: in a small bowl, mix cooled butter, egg and milk
step 4: pour into dry ingredients and stir until flour is moistened but looks a bit lumpy
step 5: spoon mixture into prepared cups
step 6: bake in preheated over (400 F) 15 to 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown
step 7: cool in cups 5 minutes before serving
step 8: ENJOY!
