What is your favourite ingredient for baking muffins?

Do you prefer fruits, vegetables or something else?

Makes 8 to 12 servings.

Today we had about 15° to 17°C (60° F) and an overcast sky. The ideal conditions to bake something for the teatime.

In our household we have the habit to have a teatime (with cocoa, tea or coffee and any cake / cookies) at about 4 a.m. when it is possible after we get home.

We normally stand up early in the morning. To have some caffeine / theobromine in the afternoon gives us some energy for the rest of the day.

Although the strawberry season started, we decided to use some frozen raspberries that were left over from garnishing ice cream.

Ingredients for raspberry muffins:
50g butter

1 egg
100 g flour
35 g sugar
2 teasp. vanilla sugar
1/2 teasp. baking powder

250 g raspberries, frozen

You have boiled asparagus and don’t know what to do with the boiling water? Why not prepare a white asparagus soup?

We had our first white asparagus of the season on thursday.
How to cook asparagus:
In our household about 1 kg asparagus is boiled in 2,5 liter water that is druged with some sugar, butter and salt. This time we wanted to keep the aromatic boiling water as an ingredient and decided to make asparagus soup with it.
This broth is the ideal base for a creamy white asparagus soup e.g. with bread crumbs.
