Just making muffins ready for when DD rolls out of bed, nice freshly baked muffins a lovely start to the day, non?

Cut my blardy finger and bled into the muffin mix a bit! Have mixed it in and put them in the oven

AIBU? Should I ahve chucked hte mix? (say no)

No . There's nothing wrong with a bit of cooked blood- think of meat there's loads of blood in there!

Is no-one else wondering how you managed to cut your finger making muffins?!

VerySensibleKbear · 30/05/2007 08:42

I bow down to your morning-muffin-making MamaG (MMMMamaG - new name?) - I was reading a baking book last night (yes, I'm sad, I do that often) and saw muffins and thought "ooh, they'd be nice in the morning with coffee" but that's as far as it got!

What flavour are they are, apart from blood?

Mixed them in a glass bowl with handles, pyrex type, that I'd chipped when unloading it from the dishwasher the other day - like teh bowl so decided to be careful (ha!)

I was wondering, but didn't like to show my baking ignorance
