Baklava Muffins

Original receipt is from "How to be domestic goddess" by Nigella Lawson but the inspiration was taken from White Plate. It's a Polish blog, mostly about cooking, but Liska-the blogger-writes about places, travelling, cities, people, good memories in such a way that every single time when I enter my kitchen I wonder where she'll take me today.
I always say that I really love cooking but it doesn't mean I can (especially when we talk about baking). So "dolce vita" is a series not only about making my life sweeter but about exploring, tasting and trying to make my house to smell like a home.

Baklava Muffins 

(for around 12 muffins)

For the filling:

1/2 glass of chopped walnuts

1/3 glass of sugar

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

3 spoons of melted butter

For the muffins:

1 glass and 7 spoons of flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 glass of sugar

1 large egg

3 spoons of melted butter

1 glass and 2 spoons of buttermilk (or you can use 3/4 glass of natural yogurt and 1/3 glass of milk)

For the topping:

1/2 glass of runny honey

1. Preheat the oven to 200° Celsius.
2. Line bun muffin with 12 paper cases.
3. Mix all the filling ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Take another bowl and mix all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.
5. In another bowl mix all liquid ingredients: buttermilk, eg and melted butter.
6. Pour in the liquid into dry ingredients and mix lightly. Don't make that "too smooth", keeping it with some "bumpies" is absolutely ok when it comes to muffins.
7. Fill the muffin papers one-third full, add tablespoon of filling and cover it with another tablespoon of muffin mixture until two-thirds full. (If you have some filling left you can sparkle the top of the muffins with it).
8. Bake them for around 15 minutes (it took me around 20minutes).
9. Take them out of the oven and decorate with honey (I didn't do that but even without it they were really sweet).

Bon appétit!
