Marzipan Muffins
Friday, 25. September 2009, 02:46:27
The other day Zaphira posted a delicious looking recipe she created for Marzipan Muffins. Never having used marzipan (I've used almond paste, which is similar), I decided this was the perfect recipe to try. 
There were a couple things that I should have taken into account though- 1.) The marzipan I found was hard as a rock. I had to put it in the microwave in order to soften it enough to grate, and 2.)Nebraska is at a much higher elevation than Denmark. I needed to use a bit more flour to compensate. 
My muffins are nowhere near as pretty as Zaphira's, but they are still quite tasty. 
I'll just have to tweak the recipe a tad bit to adjust it to my elevation, but I'll definitely do it again. Thanks for the recipe, Zaphira. It's incredible!
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. The light in the kitchen is terrible.

I'm at about 3600 ft., so I need just a bit more flour, even for boxed stuff. I'll have to see just how much more I need to add to get this recipe to work right for where I'm at.
Thanks, Angeliki! I like the colors.

There is one every year at the church not far from Mugs' place.
Basically senior ladies selling their crafts to support the Christmas dinner for the homeless.
