Did you know that quick breads are the only, truly American contribution to the pastry arts? Everything else can be attributed to some immigrant group. Whereas yeast breads can take up to 4 hours to make, muffins can be served within 15 minutes if you are organized. Quick breads is an understatement. Today's quick breads in class were blueberry muffins and banana bread. I had blueberry pie last week so I went with raspberry muffins today. As you can see from the picture, I had one before I remembered to take a picture. After the picture, there were 2 muffins missing. I think the world would be a better place if everyone leaned to the left politically but it looks funny in pastries. I need to figure out why they are doing that.
