Golden Bruffins Pt. 2 : The Joy of Mixing

Making Tillamook Golden Bruffins is a rather complicated process, so it's important that you pay very close attention during this difficult part of the process...

Tricky

Step 1: Dump cheese into the biscuit mix and mix. Mixing at this stage can be difficult with just the cheese and biscuit mix, and Beckie Sue experienced some unpleasant hand cramps. We had to hurry on to the next step before she was crippled for life.

Step 2: Stir in other ingredients. (See, I told you you this was tricky...)

We decided to stir in the milk next to give Beckie Sue's crippled hand some relief. Once the milk was added the mixing process was a lot smoother, and Beckie Sue was a lot less irritable.

Squeezing

Our next step was the banana mashing. As we mentioned in our previous post, Beckie Sue discovered the best way to do this is to grasp the bananas firmly in each hand and squeeze first, then peel them into a bowl. We then used a fork to finish mashing the bananas thoroughly before adding them to the mixture.

After the addition of the mashed banana, that's when the mixing magic continues. At this point Beckie Sue had to switch hands, as her one hand had become all but useless.



What's next? The egg! Yes, things get a little livelier with the addition of the egg. But not much. More mixing follows.

At this point Beckie Sue's hands were all both useless. Really, I thought she'd hold up better than this. She needed a smoke break.

Mixing!

Loose!

Back to mixing, Beckie Sue! The last step is to add the crushed canned pineapple. At this point the mixture will still be thicker than you'd expect a standard muffin mixture to be, so the pineapple really loosened things up.

Now that we're done with the Bruffin mix, it's time to pour it into a generously greased muffin pan. Beckie Sue was an excellent muffin pan greaser, and we were soon able to start pouring the mix into the cups.
