Strawberry Muffin Cooking Guide
The recipe for biscuit muffins in silicone molds (see the photo of finished products above) recommends that you immediately turn on the oven 170 degrees. By the time the dough is ready, it will have time to warm up enough.
Break eggs (room temperature) into a clean, deep container. Armed with a mixer, start whipping the ingredient. When the eggs have a uniform structure, sugar can be introduced. This should be done gradually, adding the ingredient in small portions (in 4-5 doses). After all the sugar crystals have dissolved, continue to work with the mixer for another 5 minutes.
Combine flour with baking powder, and then sift through a sieve. Experienced chefs advise repeating this procedure several times - so the cupcakes will turn out even more airy. Gradually, without stopping the beating process, introduce a dry mixture of flour and baking powder into the egg mass.
Bring the milk to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Add butter to the hot liquid. Bring to a boil again, then immediately pour (in a thin stream) into the cupcake blank. Choux biscuit dough for the most tender muffins with strawberries is completely ready!
Lightly grease silicone cupcake makers with odorless vegetable oil. At the bottom of each container, put one or two (depending on size) strawberries from jam.
