Donut Muffins

April 3, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 24 Comments

We have just been called to afternoon tea by Sarah who has baked us some delicious Donut Muffins using a recipe she found here. Lots of cinnamony goodness.

Such a joy to have a daughter who bakes us nice treats.

    Yum, I have been wanting to try Nigella’s recipe (from her How to be a Domestic Goddess book) for donut muffins for a while – they sound truly decadent with jam inside!
    I’m sure you enjoyed these!

    My mum makes these with a dollop of jam in the middle.
    Fill the muffin pan one third full add a teaspoon of jam (this is not an accurate measure rather a small spoon of jam)
    fill the muffin pan to the normal level and bake.
    We use strawberry or one of mum’s homemade combinations but any would do, even marmalade to cut through the sweetness would be nice.
    They do leak a little if you put too much jam. Try to keep it in the centre in a neat pile before adding the rest of the mix.
    YUM YUM YUM

    Oh my! I just found your blog and it’s soooo wonderful. I love, love, love, donuts and cinnamon too but, for health reasons only have one once in a while, so this recipe is a little piece of heaven. I can’t wait to make them with my daughter who loves baking share them with my sister who is a fellow connoisseur. Looking forward to future visits of your wonder posts.

There’s something so lovely about putting together There’s something so lovely about putting together a bright, happy self‑care gift… especially when it’s handmade.  I stitched a colourful set using Ruby Star Society fabrics - a Relaxation Eye Pillow and a Heavenly Heatpack - and styled them into a complete gift bundle.To make it feel extra special, I lined a small bamboo tray with soft tissue, added the two calming makes, tied them with a pink ribbon, and tucked in a few thoughtful extras: a candle, a box of speciality tea, and a tiny plant. It’s simple, cheerful, and such a beautiful way to show someone you care.Both projects are scrap‑friendly, beginner‑friendly, and quick to sew - perfect for weekend making or last‑minute gifting.If you’d like to sew your own self‑care set, comment SELFCARE and I’ll send you the link to the bundle. You’ll also save 25% on these two gift‑ready patterns when you buy the bundle.#selfcaresewing #beginnersewingproject #scrapfriendysewing #handmadegiftideas #aspoonfulofsugardesigns

Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to t Thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Quadra Pouch launch last week — I’m thrilled you’re loving this pattern as much as I do.Today I’m sharing a brand new Tilda version, stitched in the large size and made entirely from blenders. I used four Bellflower prints from the Wallflower range for the exterior, and four Stella prints from the Songbird collection for the lining — eight fabrics in total, making it delightfully scrappy.I love how easily Tilda collections mix and match, and how each corner of the pouch showcases a different print. The clever panel construction gives the pouch a neat flat base without boxed corners, and the result is both practical and beautifully structured.If you’d like to sew your own, the Quadra Pouch pattern is available in both my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop.Comment QUADRA and I’ll send the link straight to you.Pattern Details: Quadra Pouch (3 Sizes) - available in our Pattern Store and Etsy ShopFabric: Bellflower blenders and Stella blenders from Tilda, with thanks to @tilda_australia#tildafabrics #quadrapouch #sewingproject #scrapfriendlysewing #pouchpattern
