UNDERWATER RESTAURANT

"The Ithaa Restaurant sits 15 feet below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views. The restaurant is reached by a wooden walkway from the nearby over-water Sunset Grill Restaurant, and seats just 14 people for exclusive dining with a real difference."

::WARNING::

Unlike cooking – you must be very very very careful when measuring or changing ingredients when it comes to baking. When you’re cooking- adding more salt, hot sauce, parsley (etc.) won’t make a huge difference. With baking – small changes like these can make ALL the difference. In school I have learned that baking is a science. It's very technical and very precise. One measuring mishap and BAM - horrible goods. Unless you know what you're doing- pay attention!

(ok enough with my rambling!!)

[[Today's muffin recipe]]

MINI SUGAR DONUT MUFFINS

[[She's got that look of a muffin but taste like a donut...]]

::Ingredients before baking:

3/4 cups sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

(I usually use whole wheat flour, but it's whatev)

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup milk

(I usually use fat free, but once again, it's whatev)

1 tsp vanilla extract

::Ingredients after baking::

2 tablespoons melted butter (for dipping)

1/2 cup sugar (for rolling)

1 tablespoon cinnamon (for rolling)

::Directions::

--Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

--Grease muffin tin (large or small) with cooking/baking spray or oil.

--Cream sugar and egg in a large bowl until light and fluffy

-- In a small bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg

--Combine the dry mixture slowly into the wet mixture until well blended (be careful not to over mix)

--Add in vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet & dry mixture.

--After this is well blended, pour into muffin tins- filling each about 3/4 full.

--Bake muffins for 10-15 minutes (check at 10- if the muffins spring back to the touch then they're ready)

::LET MUFFINS COOL::

--Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave (30-40 seconds should suffice)

--In the meantime mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl

--Once the muffins are cooled dunk the tops of them in the melted butter

-- Next- roll the buttered muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture

And there you have it! Mini-sugar-donut-muffins!

(Goes great with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk)

--Well it is time to bid you adieu....whoever you are.
