Eggless Ginger Pudding Muffins Recipe By Tasty Recipes

GINGER PUDDING

Steps:

• Using a microplane or grater, grate the ginger and squeeze out the juice through cheesecloth or a fine sieve into a bowl. You need 2 tablespoonfuls of juice. You should see a fine layer of white starch. Put 1 tablespoon of juice into each of two bowls. Heat the milk and sugar to 60-65°C (140-150°F), stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
• Stir the ginger juice, then pour the milk from a height of about 10 cm (4 inches) into the ginger juice. Don't stir and don't move the bowls. Leave for 5-10 minutes to set. Serve warm or chilled.

TRIPLE-GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, milk, molasses and grated ginger, and whisk until smooth.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Stir in 3/4 cup crystallized ginger, reserving the remaining 3 tablespoons for the topping.
• Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved crystallized ginger onto the tops of the muffins, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.
