This has to be literally the most revolting baking episode I have ever experienced!

The idea behind this recipe is great - ginger and pear flavours. But The recipe has woeful errors, which makes me wonder if it was ever tested by BBC. For instance the cooking temperature: 200? More likely 150. The time? 40 minutes - you must be joking!! However I altered these instructions…

question

I wondered if the measurement units for the yoghurt and flour have been mixed around as the flour shows ml. and the yogurt grams?

In the oven as I type....40 mins does seem like a long bake.... Update- out of the oven 180 fan in 25 minutes. Delicious!

question

I'm confused... why would one need to bake muffins for 40 minutes? Surely that is too long!
