Delicious cupcakes: recipes with photos of finished products
The dough for such a sweet pastry kneads pretty quickly. Moreover, muffins are baked in the oven in just 35-38 minutes. However, this process can be delayed due to the fact that special molds, where the fragrant base is placed, can include only 6-12 recesses. That is why it is recommended to purchase several silicone products, which will greatly accelerate the baking of homemade goodies.
So, in order to cook delicious and soft muffins, the recipe of which is based on kefir, you should prepare such products:
- large chicken eggs - 3 pcs.;
- granulated sugar - 2/3 cup;
- cream margarine (preferably the most expensive and good) - 250 g;
- light wheat flour - about 4 glasses;
- thick fat kefir - 400 ml;
- medium-sized salt - ½ dessert spoon;
- black seedless raisins - 1 full glass;
- baking soda and 6% table vinegar - for a dessert spoon;
- vegetable oil for lubricating molds.
Cooking dough
Muffins with raisins (the recipe for this dessert is very simple) will turn out to be lush, soft and tasty only if you mix the base properly. To do this, beat the eggs with a mixer, pour in them fat yogurt and pour in granulated sugar. All ingredients should be mixed well and left aside for a while, so that the sweet product is almost completely dissolved. In the meantime, it is necessary to start preparing the second part of the framework. To do this, completely defrost creamy margarine, rub it with your hands together with light wheat flour, and then add salt to them and mix thoroughly.
After both parts of the dough are ready, you should start mixing them. To do this, you need to pour the kefir-egg mass into the crumbs of margarine, as a result of which you should form a semi-liquid base (as for pancakes). It is necessary to add baking soda, extinguished with table vinegar, and mix well. It should be noted that if you get too thick a dough, then it is advisable to dilute it with a small amount of sour-milk drink. If this is not done, then the kefir muffins, the recipe of which we are considering, will turn out tough and not very tasty.
To make such a dessert more satisfying and mouth-watering, culinary experts recommend adding black seedless raisins to it. However, before that, the acquired dried fruit should be carefully processed. To do this, it must be cleaned of existing debris, washed well, poured with boiling water, kept in it for about 20 minutes, and then rinsed and filtered again. Next, the processed seedless raisins must be poured into the dough and mixed thoroughly.
Baking process
Kefir muffins, the recipe of which involves the use of only simple and affordable ingredients, are baked quite quickly. To do this, you need to take silicone molds and lubricate them well with vegetable oil, using a culinary brush. Next, in each recess, you need to lay out a semi-liquid dough with raisins. Its amount depends entirely on what form you have chosen. However, it is recommended to fill the recess no more than 2/3. Indeed, in the process of heat treatment, kefir dough rises quite strongly.
After the silicone molds are filled, they should be placed in the oven, which must be preheated. It is advisable to bake such products for no more than 40 minutes, until a blush appears. Next, the dishes must be taken out and overturned over a wide bowl or cutting board with a sharp movement. If the cupcakes do not come out of the recesses on their own, then you need to slightly pry them with a table fork.
Proper dessert serving
Cooked cupcakes in silicone molds (the recipe is presented above) should be served in a hot or already cooled state along with aromatic tea or cocoa. If desired, such products can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or dip the top of the dessert in melted chocolate.
Soft and tender curd muffins: a recipe for cooking
Such a home-made treat is not only very tasty, but also useful. After all, cottage cheese contains a large amount of calcium and other trace elements.
So, to make a dessert, we need:
- granulated sugar - 200 g;
- large chicken eggs - 3 pcs.;
- coarse-grained dry cheese - 200 g;
- light sifted flour - 200 g;
- fresh butter - 160 g;
- table soda - a dessert spoon.
Kneading process
The basis for such a dessert is made no more complicated than in the previous recipe. To do this, break the chicken eggs into a deep bowl and beat them with a mixer at maximum speed until the volume increases by 3-4 times. After that, dry coarse curd, table soda and granulated sugar are required to be placed in the same container. After mixing all the components together, they should be left briefly at room temperature until the sweet product dissolves. In the meantime, crumble fresh butter into a large bowl, then sift the wheat flour into it and grind both components with your hands until a fine, uniform crumb is formed.
In conclusion, both parts of the dough must be combined and mixed thoroughly. As a result, you should form a lush and soft base, similar to an oil cream.
Baking cupcakes
For baking curd products, you can use both metal and silicone molds. If you didn’t have such dishes, then you can use a regular pan or pan for a large cake. Thus, the molds should be carefully lubricated with vegetable oil, and then placed in each of the recesses for 1 or 1.5 dess. spoons of curd base. Next, the filled dishes must be put in a preheated oven and kept in it for no more than half an hour. During this time, the cupcakes should rise, become rosy and fully cooked. Baked products must be removed from the molds by turning them over, and then placed on a large plate and cool a little.
