Again, so I don't have to look it up every time.

This is a recipe for a lot of muffins (more than one muffin tin), so it might be halved.

Beat two eggs until fluffy (almost a minute). Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml milk, beat until combined.

Add 250g sugar and whisk. Lots of air.

Combine 400g flour, baking powder, and a little salt. Add to the mixture and mix until smooth (do not over-mix).

Add flavourings or fruit of choice.

Fill muffin cases two-thirds full, bake for about 20-25 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool and enjoy.

Another one in the line of "write this down so you don't have to look it up every time": the basic recipe for hot water crust pastry.

450g plain flour
1 tsp salt
200g lard
225ml water and milk, mixed in equal quantities.

Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Heat the milk and water in a pan with the lard until it boils. Pour the mixture into the bowl and beat well until it is smooth. If you can handle the heat, put the mixture on a pastry board and knead until smooth. (It's like cuddling a Shar-Pei puppy...)

Again, so I don't have to hunt the internet for the recipe.

Equal amounts butter and sugar; 2-3 eggs; 1/3 more plain flour than butter + sugar; baking powder; caraway seeds; splash of milk; pinch of salt; ground almonds (if wanted).

ie

175g butter, 175g sugar, 225g flour.

Soften (melt) butter, put with sugar, mix until frothy. Beat in eggs (careful that the mix is not too hot or they'll scramble). Add flour and baking powder, caraway seeds and a pinch of salt. Add ground almonds if wanted. Add a dash of milk if the dough is too dry.

Pour in baking tin and bake 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out dry.

... so I don't have to go looking all over the internet for the basic recipe.

- equal amounts of butter and flour
- half the weight of flour in sugar (ie, 250g butter, 250g flour, 125g sugar)
- pinch of baking powder
- 1 egg
- flavourings / spices as wanted

Tried flavourings:
- lemon and coriander
- chopped dates and honey
- gingerbread spicing
- lemon and gin

Will continue to add. Caraway should be good, too.
