As some of you will recall, our oven element burned out on Thanksgiving Day. I managed to orchestrate an impromptu smoking session to cook the turkey.
Well I was in the supermarket tonight buying the stuff for my wife to make blueberry muffins for dinner, when I remembered that our oven was dead. I almost put the stuff back, but then inspiration hit. Broiler muffins!
1. Choose your muffin recipe. Make muffin batter as normal. Preheat oven using the broiler element.
2. Put your muffins on the bottom shelf of the oven and turn the broiler element off. Let it set for 10 minuets.
3. Turn on the broiler element to the baking temperature. Check them periodically. When the muffin tops are well browned remove them from the oven.
4. At this point the tops of the muffins will be done, but the bottoms will be very doughy and soft. Cover the top of the muffin pan with foil. VERY CAREFULLY TURN THE MUFFIN PANS UP SIDE DOWN (YES UPSIDE DOWN!!!)
on the middle oven rack. Leave the broiler on and cook for another 10 minutes or so.
5. Remove from oven and immediately uncover. Allow to sit for several minutes.
Presto! Broiler Muffins.
Cut this recipe out and stick it to your refrigerator with a magnet so it will be there the next time you want to have muffins when your oven is broken.
