#2 A problem I encountered and I solved and managed it.

Another boring day for me today.As usual,during lessons, my teachers' teachings were so boring that I almost fell asleep.Luckily,my friend sitting beside me told me some jokes in the middle of lessons to keep me laughing and energetic.When I reached home,I remembered that there was no homework for the day so I decided to try to do something special today.I decided to bake a muffin!I have never baked a muffin before so this is my first time.After flipping the pages of the baking-a-muffin book,I decided to bake a blueberry muffin.After writing down all of the ingredients that I needed to bake a cake,I went to Fairprice to buy the ingredients.I spent a total of fifteen dollars.When I reached home,I gingerly put all of the ingredients onto bowls and plates to ease baking.Well,at this point of time,if you are also interested in baking a blueberry muffin,I can tell you the ingredients here.


  • 1 1/2 cups  flour




  • 3/4 cup white sugar




  • 1/2 teaspoon salt



  • 2 teaspoons baking powder



  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil




  • 1 egg




  • 1/3 cup milk




  • 1 cup fresh blueberries




  • 1/2 cup white sugar




  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour




  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed




  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon    



  • If you want the steps in baking the muffin too,you can see the instructions below.
    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
    2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
    3. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
    4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
    If there are some words that you do not comprehend,you can check with your mothers and fathers.I am pretty sure that they will know them.Before long,I started baking my blueberry muffin.There was one major problem that I encountered.I was supposed to leave the muffins in the heated oven for twenty to twenty-five minutes,however,as I thought that the timing was so long that I could take a nap,I went into a deep sleep without knowing as I was dog-tired,perhaps.When I woke up,suddenly,a foul smell went into my nostrils and instantly,I knew that my muffins were over-cooked! I hurriedly went to the kitchen to switch off the oven.After waiting for a moment,I took the over-cooked muffins out.I scolded myself for falling into a deep sleep and overlooked the muffins.I decided to overcome this problem by baking another few more new muffins,and this time,I decided to wait by the oven for exactly twenty minutes before taking them out.This time,it was a success!However,my muffins did not taste that great but I looked at the bright side of the muffins as a blessing of disguise.And so this is the end of my story.I shall now show you a five minute long video which will entertain you for a while.
