It is a neat large single serving idea, very pretty. Has anyone else noticed that over the years muffins have gotten much sweeter, as well as much larger. Must be 3X the calories.
It's the same with everything. Nothing can just be a normal size with standard features. Everything has to be super sized with every additional bell and whistle. I call it unnecessary deluxification.

Yep everything is now super sized. Watched a documentary regarding the fast food industry. The segment featured McDonalds and how bad the food is for our bodies. The results were quite alarming!

De-luxification would be the removal of luxury, just as delousing is removal of lice. Enluxification would be more precise.

If you remember the 40's & 50's, anything supposedly very special and above grade was called deluxe. In this case the de was not a prefix and so did not signify the subtraction of the quality It denoted. Note the de of denoted does not subtract the note quality either. If I had used a hyphen you would be correct but I didn't and I believe the word is exclusive to me because I coined it.

Yes, they have, Coravee. Personally, I just like to make them myself from a Jiffy mix if I am using the oven anyway. Simple foods made at home are often more satisfying, anyway.
Went back and last post there was from Aussie was Feb.2nd. Wish someone know how to get hold of her.

Nothing for the past few days, mamag. I emailed her yesterday and hope all was well with her doctor's visit.

Thanks Akan.I am glad you have her email. Please keep us posted as much as you can. We continue prayers for her that the Dr's visit good. How wonderful this group is. God bless.
I bake my muffins in a cupcake pan, not in ramekins. It seems to me that placing all those ramekins in the oven then taking them out again would be very time consuming. Is there a reason for using them that makes it worth the time?
