Mumsnet Talk

My Mum brought me a silicone baking thing today, 6 holes, like large muffin tray, but the holes are more "plant pot" than muffin shape IYKWIM.

Like little domes, too big to be muffin holes IMO

WDYT its for?

are they like the size of the muffins you get at starbucks or bigger than that?

bunts

I don't know, I've never had a Starbucks muffin

What is a bunt?

They're approx double the depth of my muffin tin

you made bunts up didn't you

BunDts - with a D. Its not made up. I think nigella uses a 'mini bundt tin' in one of her domestic goddess recipes, which really confuses the issue.

Friands?
They're an Aussie thing apparently.

oh i know its for madeleines isn ti?

oh no they are shallow

its a dariole mould

You could make pannacotta in them [poncoid emoticon]

Definitely not bundt tin as doesn't have hole in middle

Its not a quiz cheeso, I don't actually know what its for, thats why I'm asking

Possibly frainds, will research it a bit more now.

I htink it would be easier to upload a pic of said tray!

ooh I 've found it

Googled make - what the hell is a "pop over pan" ?

Oh, this is a little like Bits and Bobs!

Is it to make special tops for your cupcakes, rather than make the swirl in a frosting of sorts, you bake another little cake, glue on with jam, and then decorate?

It will be like a double bullet cupcake.

i think they're an American version of Yorkshire puddings.

oh look here

Looks like it IS a muffin tin, for making HUGE muffins - doesn't it?

" LÉKUÉ pans can be filled higher than traditional pans because they bake evenly, providing for consistent height across the pan."

It is perfect for people who want a really BIG cupcake.

I rather have many small cupcakes. More icing.

You know, as an aside.

I had a colleague over from the US, and he loved cookies. I suggested he tried on of those really big chocolate chip cookies from starbucks. He looks at me and goes:

"One cookie. I cant have just one cookie. What is the fun in having one cookie???"

Ok, so not a one-cookie man!

lol at cookie
They are gonna be huuuuuuuuuge muffins aren't they

They are. You have to lay the icing on thick!

you could use them to make jelly (oil lightly first)

MamaG I made muffins in dh's pop over pan (note DH's, I do NOT do the cooking in the shoshe household, but dh was away and needs must)

It made the most hugemongous muffins

I dipped them in melted chocolate and dusted with icing sugar and served with clotted cream, DDIL was the only one to finish hers {grin] (but then the skinny bugger can eat anything and everything )

Shoshe my teeth ache reading that post

I have one, I just make big humungo muffins in it.
