The muffins. Well, various odd things happened. It started out okay. All was well until the point where I aimed a fork at a banana and watched it skitter across the kitchen island and smush all over the Guardian. The second time I did it, banana no.2 went flying across the room and Pedar inquired whether or not my modus operandi could do with a rethink.
Ah, well, what the hell, and I smushed up the bananas with my fingers, mixed them in with the rest of the stuff (the honey was particularly nice - mmm) and then came the next problem. We don't possess any muffin tins. Some thought was required. In the end, I put them into those little paper holders. Instead of 24 banana muffins, we have 48 flat banana fairy cakes. They refused to cook from the inside, so I left them in the oven for an hour on almost minimal heat. It seemed to work. They aren't particularly fluffy (Pedar's comments about unleavened Passover bananas notwithstanding) but the honey and the banana have melted together to make a soft centre to each cake. I am pleased. Pam, thank you very much for the recipe - I had been looking for a tried-and-tested one for quite some time.
Anyone wants one, you know where I live. Turn up on the doorstep and say please.
