Poppy Seed Muffins

Thanks Toni, for the invitation to publish to your great new cooking blog !!

I thought for my first post I'd share these amazing muffins that we made together yesterday !!

1. Preheat the oven to 160 fan forced. (maybe go about 180 if it's not fan forced)

2. Mix the following ingredients 'til lumps of flour are gone ...

1 and 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 cups flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
2 cups milk
3 cups sugar
2 Tbls poppy seeds
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond extract

3. Pour into muffin tins.

4. Bake 20 - 25 minutes. I always bake about 10 minutes, then check them every 5 minutes after that til they are done. (when a toothpick inserted into the middle of them comes out clean ! )
