Vanilla muffins

Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my blog. This week is a carnival week and yesterday Mariella went to her school on her fairy attire.Because of that, I wanted to do something fun and girly in my blog too.

Today I made some "vanilla cupcakes in the fairyland" together with my kids. I admit that it was not easy making something in the kitchen with  the kids who like to touch,press, or turn something on and off. It can also be chaos that is why some of the moms want to bake or cook food on their own. I guess it is very important that we show  our kids the process,the meaning and the art of baking and cooking. In that way they will know how we make that certain food and they will be motivated to eat and will be more appreciative on the food that we serve on the table. We can have a messy and chaos but FUN day in the kitchen sometimes.

Ingredients:

125g butter/margarine

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

2 cups of flour

2 tsp baking powder

These 2 ingredients should be sifted together (1-2 times)

1tsp vanilla extract ( I used vanilla sugar)

1 cup of milk

All the ingredients should be in a room temperature at least 30 mins. before mixing them together.

Procedure:

Mix  butter/margarine and sugar well.

Add one egg at a time.

 Add all the dry ingredients and mix well. Add milk and vanilla  and mix for 2 minutes.

This muffin mixture is not that runny and not that dry either. But you can feel the moist on the muffins when you taste it.

You can see that the mixture is very fine, that is because we sifted the flour 3 times.

For you to know: 

 Wet/runny muffin batter/mixture will usually rise bigger and will double its  size.

The dryer your batter,the lesser it will rise.

Transfer the muffin batter into cupcake cups or form, about 1-2 tbsp each muffin form. It depends upon how big your form is.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 mins. (170*C)

Frost your muffins with homemade frosting or ready-made frosting from the local store.
