They go very well with strawberry jam too.

Once I used th...Hey, I've made these twice now. Once I used the earl grey flavoring as recommended, and once I made them for my mother who doesn't like earl grey and I used a bigelow tea called Constant Comment, which is orange and clove flavored. Both turned out great. Also, I didn't have any self-rising flour so I used regular flour with 1 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt for every cup of flour. Worked pretty well. For the second batch I substituted sugar for splenda, and they baked just as well. In the US, we don't get caster sugar often, and I've just been using the larger US granulated sugar, and that works just fine. I also felt the earl gray did not infuse fully the first time, so the second time I heated the milk, put the tea bags in the pot while it was on the stove, and continued to heat it at a low level until I was happy with the strength of the tea. I think in the future I may also add some lemon juice or rind to the mix to make it more of a 'lemon poppy seed and earl gray muffin' recipe. Also, though I usually have a problem with mixes and recipes not making enough, I consistently get about 14 1/2 muffins out of this mix, which rocks! Great recipe!

So the first time I made them, I put in way too little baking powder and salt, and they got really dense. Should have picked up on that from the batter already, it was more like a pizza dough than a runny batter. They tasted great, though. I found that a tbs of poppy seeds was not enough to my taste. Also, didn't have jam/marmalade, so I served them with nothing on top. A little boring, but sweet and filling even so.<br /><br />Today, I made them again. Got the "self-raising" right, used 2 tbs of poppy seed and added just a little more milk after I mixed the wet and the dry parts, to get it perfectly runny. They raised over the paper (I use a muffin tin, btw, glutenfree is notorious for not keeping together and getting wobbly and spilling so it's a great help) and they tasted gorgeously! The texture was also right, more airy. Served with cream cheese and more poppy seeds and some colorful sprinkles on top. That was my daughter's request ;)<br /><br />Thank you for a new favorite!Martha Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461330577913907626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-68823801059033190412012-05-09T09:31:02.141+10:002012-05-09T09:31:02.141+10:00You can just skip the poppyseeds!You can just skip the poppyseeds!Stephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-79533923391348737592012-05-08T23:37:30.526+10:002012-05-08T23:37:30.526+10:00Heya, any alternative for poppyseeds? it's ban...Heya, any alternative for poppyseeds? it's banned in country :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-4152398597086030102012-04-24T06:04:32.227+10:002012-04-24T06:04:32.227+10:00No worries, they were awesome!!

But it would probably be around the 45-50 minute mark and you'd have to keep checking on it with a skewer. But maybe you could try this recipe for earl grey tea cake instead? <a href="http://www.raspberricupcakes.com/2011/06/earl-grey-cake-with-rhubarb-cream.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.raspberricupcakes.com/2011/06/earl-grey-cake-with-rhubarb-cream.html</a>.<br /><br />I use a non-fanforced oven, it doesn't matter so long as you keep an eye on the muffins after the 20 minute mark as they might take less time in a fan-forced oven.<br /><br />T2's French Earl Grey would be heavenly in this recipe!Stephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-55529884465138796792012-03-11T11:40:20.705+11:002012-03-11T11:40:20.705+11:00Hi there,

I just have a few questions before baking.<br />1. If I was going to bake this mixture as 1 cake (probably in a 20cm round cake tin) what timing would you suggest to bake it for?<br />2. You've said to cook the mixture at 180 degrees, is that electric or fan-forced?<br />3. Can other teas be substituted in place of Earl Grey? Unfortunately I don't have any Earl Grey so I was going to use T2's French Earl Grey instead.<br /><br />I'd really appreciate your advice.Abcde Orsotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-51531426283544438752012-03-07T18:23:21.425+11:002012-03-07T18:23:21.425+11:00I just made them...
