What are Gingerbread Muffins?

Many years ago when I was living in Singapore, I became obsessed with a limited-edition range of products from the Body Shop. It was for Christmas and it was called Sugar And Spice. I think it might have become my single favourite scent. And to this day, I think about it especially around Christmas when little whiffs and puffs of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, spice, maple, oak and cherry escape into the air like little smoke dragons enticing and tempting us mere mortals.

I started baking a batch of delicious gingerbread muffins over the weekend. As I mixed the batter, I became nostalgic again. But this time it was different. The aroma was fantastically close to the one I have been missing for so many years. As I heaped the ground ginger and sprinkled an extra dash of mixed spice, my senses transcended to that Christmas in Singapore. Sugar And Spice. And I knew I had to share this one right away.

My most favourite scent in the whole world crammed into a batch of proud high-topped golden brown soft crumbly muffins peppered with a dust of cinnamon and a kiss of icing sugar. For your eating pleasure!
