Anyway, as an interim measure, let me share with you the delights of some instant mix. I got a twit from GFAD if I wanted more Jiffy, (Jiffy is different from Jif, the toilet cleaning liquid), a muffin mix that she gave me the last time she was back in KL.
Actually I had almost forgotten about that little box of Jiffy, which sounded a bit iffy, to be honest. I'm not a big fan of instant cake mixes per se. My instant pancake mix, which was blardy expensive too, wasnt as nice as the ones made from scratch. I think it was pillsbury brand.
Anyway, since I was quite free, and the instructions for the muffins said, JUST ADD EGG AND MILK, and I needed to fire up the oven for another thing, I thought, why not, let's DO IT. It really took less than 3 minutes. Open packet, crack egg, pour milk, blitz in processor, (actually probably can even stir manually), pour into lined muffin tin... and DONE! Bake for 15 mins, (might have been overdone), and you have piping hot corn muffins.
I hope my short post inspires as many comments as Thamby's recent 12" burger post. With 2 lines, she spawned 60 comments. Brevity is in!!! I also want laidat.
Thanks for the Jiffy GFAD!

Wow. Really easy peasy.
And looks good too! :) How's the taste?
HOLY COW. you're good ahpa!
here's to one of yr 60 comments :p
ya ya u din tell us how it tasted!
Chis. Talk about short cut. I protest. Real bakers shouldn't use instant mixes. Leave that to the rest of us. :-D
Let me add to your comment "count" and say... that was an excellent blog post.
Don't sing too many praises about instant mix packs... you might just go out of... WAIIIITTAMINUTE! I GOT IT! I got it... I got it!
Since I came up with this idea, I call shotgun. We should make FBB cake mixes!!! This way, we can go international!
*Sniggers* One can only dream of creating a post which could spawn 60+ comments. One wonders if one has to show a cheek to spur such interest. Hehe.
I agree with @apple watermelon orange lychee, real bakers shouldn't use the pre-mix stuff :P Leave it to us pleebs.
another one comment here!! woohoo!
r u sure u r not lying when you say just add egg and milk? sure no secret ingredient u failed to reveal???
Nipples! Are you calling him a liar? :-P
muahahah here's to another count!
frat, dat was an excellent idea! i volunteer to become guinea pig :p
your short post is missing one photo, of you eating the instant mix muffins. how did it taste?
Opkors real bakers use instant mixes. They just add more things to it to jazz it up. Like, say to make a casserole.
Felt like kicking the bucket eh? Gotchor list di?

Your brevity is not brief enough ler. KISS.
I'll get you some more for you to experiment with. I believe bacon does wonders for it..
me? did i call him a liar? maybe. i thought he was lying but you know maybe he wasn't but still doesn't make him not a liar rite?
(at this point, lets c if can really hit 60 comments!)
AWOL> what's a loganberry? Does it eating it make one sing as well as Logan? I want!! :)
J, do not confuse Loganberry with Logan's Berry. They're very very different. Ask Karen.
Tak cukup controversial la, you. Kena hentam kau-kau premix tu, barulah ada orang datang tembak!
Tu Gadis dari AD will come membela her product, and accuse you of being a lousy baker. Then other people will come defend you and blast her off. Masa tu lah, your readership and comment will hit sky high ler..
I'm back Ah Pa! How's life old man?
For a monkey with no baking skills, instant pre-mixes are the way to go. Call me a cheater bug. :P
Here's my contribution to your increasing comments for this post. :)
Wah.. Your little clay friend (is he made of clay ar? Or some kind of polymer?) Is very business-savvy hor? Making up for his other shortcomings, is he? ^_^
Now I want corn muffins in a jiffy too!
Wil be asking Kat to get me some Jiffy..
FBB, don't lie. Lemongrass had 8 but why u says she 12? U not gives right info to readers!
FBB, you not answering my questions yet also. Why?
*hairyberry takes a bow*
HairyBerry, why you so impatients? Cantchu tell that FBB is in a different time zone so he kenot see ur comment until he flushes his toilets? Why you enter ppl's jambans and tell them what to do, HairyBerry? You think your shitz is better smelling than FBB's shitz, izzit? Of course his smells better lor, coz he eats da jiffy corn cakes. You only have Jif (toilet cleaner) cakes.
Ahem, so, brevity is really in lah. I'm now inspired to do a two liner. ;)
I love corn muffins and used to go to kenny rogers just for it! It has since shrunk tremendously! Maybe it's time try to make my own corn. Muffin, i mean. :)
Always lamborghini, u is lucky i is poking poking my iphone so not type many. I not wash toilet with jif be because coke cheaper. But u not left, but right. I eat corn and see many in toilet. So, i happy.
FBB, y u quiet? U not answering me?
Oracle, my backsides not see unless i got mirror. I dont. Shitted corns fall like leaf died from tree. Y? U one stick? U always use paper. Water no stick. U must learn. Why u says fbb corny. His menu got no corn oso. U r lying, same like the 8". u must be same same like all the weird name commentors! I am must be correct. U lies!
This is comment no. 28!
thank you all...sniff, i feel like a pregnant marathon runner being cheered on by the triads.
okay, to answer a few pertinent questions:
1. tastewise - yeah, a bit bland, but according to grapefroot, can easily be embellished and made more delicious with other stuff...like cheese, corn, etc..which makes it very unjiffy...
hairy berry, i always thought awol prefers 12" coz she likes rulers?
chis, you calling me a liar?
nipples, eh tu?
guffaw, okay, moving on to what the duck. i now realised you cant orchestrate these things, anymore than you can orchestrate someone to love you.
LOL contributing towards #60

Maybe we should have a 60 comment celebration party with FBB-ed Jiffy muffins?
That could be nice. :D
AWOL> Errr. I think I'll leave those berries to Karen. No needs to ask lerr...

'Ello. You said you wanted 60 comments. You didn't mention anything about wanting a formal method of interactive and representational argument in which the affirmative and negative sides of a proposition are advocated by opposing speakers.
Very demanding hor, you?
GF, ah am spppppeeeeeeechless!!! wow, bow bow bow bowwwwwwww, soooo profound.
