A Good Muffin for the Weekend ?

You can’t beat a good muffin ! I used to bake them fresh each morning at Kensington Palace for Princes’ William and Harry. Williams favorite were ‘Peanut Butter and Jelly’

I added the chopped bacon to counter the sweetness of the muffins and these are fabulous.

 

 

 

Enjoy the video clip below of me teaching Al Roker on the TODAY Show how to make them and then pick up the ingredients on the way home and start the weekend off right… with a hot coffee and good muffin !
