Mmmmm, just the way I like them! I could have done with these a few days ago. I love muffins when the weather is horrible. Easter has been wet with a capital W! That's right, down here in southern Spain, the Med, it has been wetter and cooler than the UK! Only consolation is I know the UK so well, it will soon be wet and cold again - probably in time for the Royal Wedding! The Hi-maize stuff looks like cornflour, could it be swapped out, or is it completely different? I've never had a problem with burning on a griddle, but mine is an electric one, however I usually bake them in the oven because it is less hassle! I don't grease the griddle, but sprinkle it with cornmeal, perhaps it makes it less likely to burn? Sandra, Hi-maize is completely different than corn flour or cornstarch; same ingredients, processed differently. And as for burning - I'm talking burning baked/cooked muffins in the toaster, rather than burning them when you first make them. Maybe muffins aren't toasted in Spain? That's how they're typically eaten over here, though... PJH sandrascookbook.com
