It's by Kitchen Craft, as is almost all the new bakeware I bought or was given to go with my new kitchen, and is very heavy-duty non-stick. I'm looking forward to making my own mini mince pies this year. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-39856693508614145112012-10-20T11:36:30.197+01:002012-10-20T11:36:30.197+01:00Hi Perpetua, sorry for the delay in replying - we ...Hi Perpetua, sorry for the delay in replying - we have been in France where we have no internet so I am just catching up !!<br />I didn't use paper cases, just greased the tins well and the muffins came out perfectly.

The cases seem to me exorbitantly expensive (about 4p each with postage!) so I don't want to buy them unless absolutely necessary. I'm 40 miles from the nearest Sainsburys so am ordering a 24 hole tin from Amazon.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-4461147172941812742012-10-02T20:38:15.083+01:002012-10-02T20:38:15.083+01:00These look lovely - pear and goats cheese sounds l...These look lovely - pear and goats cheese sounds like a scrummy combination.

Luckily I can copy it from my email messages:<br />Hello Jean ... this is my first time visiting your blog and what a tasty way to begin! I love the idea of the pear/ chevre/walnut combo! Here in the States, muffins are traditionally sweet knoshes to have with tea or coffee ... these would be lovely with some additional cheese and a glass of wine before dinner ... a wonderful addition to a teatime table also! <br /><br />Thanks Susan, for leaving your comment !!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-59541316463377114642012-10-01T09:31:31.620+01:002012-10-01T09:31:31.620+01:00Lovely.
