I have nothing at home to eat for lunch, i told Jac to include me in if she's going out for lunch, then i walked pass my room, saw all the raw ingredients for baking (the box that keep these ingredients is located on walkway along my roomwall ma)... so i decided to bake my lunch..
i googled... for muffin.. click onto Chocolate Chip Muffin, scanned through that it's simple enough for me to bake, so off i embarked on the journey to prepare my lunch..

¾ lb chocolate chips.
1/3 lb of soft butter.
4 medium eggs.

But somehow along the way, human nature (cheah yen's nature) prompted me to MODIFY some of the methods and ingredients....
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter your muffin pan. (yerp i did^^)
2. Beat the butter and the vanilla extract together to form a light, airy mixture. (hand got tired of holding the Hand Mixer + dont know what it means by "light airy mixture" so while the butter still looks like butter, i proceeded to next step)
3. One at a time, add the eggs, and beat gently. (yep i think i followed this one)
4. Add ¼ cup of the sugar after each egg and mix thorougly. (i followed as well, but the mixture is looking like "creaming" has occured, the butter partitioned from the egg, they didnt mixed well, like heterogeneous cream rather than homogeneous...nevertheless i proceed with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th egg, and beat more so that the butter goes into mixture, but nah >.<.
5. Put the baking powder and salt in the milk, then add to the mixture.(great, found baking powder and put 1 whole tablespoon into it, at least muffin is gonna kembang anyway even if something went wrong inside the muffin!..... but i couldnt find any milk in the fridge...... so i skipped this ingredient together with salt)
6. Fold in the flour and the chocolate chips. ( mmmmm, early before starting to bake, i took out wholemeal four, not plain flour... lazy to change it, i proceed using wholemeal flour......... choc chip couldnt be found, so i used raisins and nuts from the leftover from previous test-baking experience....)
(that's not it... after folding in the flour, the mixture looked to thick, cuz i remembered Jaclyn's muffin mixture wasnt that thick before... sigh...... scared that it wont kembang, i searched through the fridge again for signs of milk.... then i found Janica's chocolate milk and soya bean..... after doing some predictability calculation mentally, i decided to use Jan's choc milk... not 1cup as mentioned in method, but only 1/2 cup... cuz her choc milk is finishing so dare not use 1cup, woah! when Janica read this post, she's gonna come to my room and rotan me for using her choc milk, tsk tsk tsk tsk... kekekeke, joking!!! ............................................ so poured 1/2 cup of CHOC MILK into final mixture, mixed it all up nicely............. as if)
7. Pour the mix into your buttered muffin pan, filling each cup two-thirds full. (FINALLY!)
Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins turn golden brown.
with such an extend of modification to the original recipe, i wonder what comes out from Oven later.probability of success
= non-modification to baking steps x non-modification to ingredients
= (2/7) x (5/9)
=10/63
= 0.158730158730158730158730
= teeeeheeeheeee....!!!! Lets all hope for the best....!!!!
Waiting for oven to "ding" so i can see my product.....
