I have been smited by the gods of baking

I wanted to make something for our staff this morning, to help with the mood for our "Read to Your Baby" festival (aka the parade of drugged families).

I had a recipe for Apple raisin spice muffins.  But when I added the liquid ingredients to the dry, the result was instant glutenation, like I'd overmixed by 300x.  Milk didn't help, and ew gross.

Rereading the recipe, I see that it calls for whole wheat pastry flour rather than regular.  Yeah, that might cause a little bit of toughness.  :\

As soon as I added the wet stuff, I was like 'whaaaa?' - now, it's sitting there with the milk on top of it. Grr!

But banana muffins are ready for munching, so all is not lost! :)
