Send

If you have the hope of spending Christmas morning slowly and languidly, looking towards the TV with a cozy comedy and sipping hot fragrant tea, add to your list a mandatory list of important tasks for this watch: aromatic apricot muffins.

Cooking these cupcakes will not take you much time, and the result will be so surprising that you will certainly want to bake another batch!

Delicate floral aroma of muffins is deliciously combined with a juicy note of fruit

Fortunately, modern markets and supermarkets give us the opportunity to get fresh fruits and berries all year round, so you can easily find juicy and sunny apricots on the shelves.

As a last resort, you can replace them with peaches or nectarines - muffins in any case will turn out very, very fantastic! And you can prove to yourself and loved ones that a Christmas breakfast is not necessarily the remnants of yesterday’s goose from yesterday’s Holy evening or kutia.

However, let's move on from words to deeds and check to see if we have everything to bake our amazing cupcakes.

You will need the following components:

200 g of flour;
120 g butter;
150 g of sugar;
2 tbsp fat cream;
2 chicken eggs;
300 g of apricots, peaches or nectarines;
1.5 tsp baking powder (baking powder);
0.5 tsp vanilla extract or vanillin;
0.5 tsp dry lavender or dry jasmine.

Wait until the butter softens. At this time, we need to crush the dried jasmine or lavender flowers in a mortar with 2 tablespoons of sugar - you mix this mixture with simple sugar (not flavored) and soft butter. There you need to add vanillin or vanilla extract and beat everything with a mixer in a lush cream of a light shade.

Next, we introduce 1 egg into the basis for the test, without turning off the mixer. The interval between egg additions is 2 minutes.

Attract children to baking muffins - young chefs will be delighted!

Sift flour and baking powder into the butter-egg mixture. Add cream there, mix until smooth.

Apricots or other fruits are cut into pieces of arbitrary shape. In the muffin molds, pour the dough for two-thirds, put the pieces of fruit on top and send to the oven.

Baking time - an average of half an hour (maybe less - focus on the features of your oven) at a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius. The oven must be preheated beforehand!

A great addition to this cake will be a cup of fragrant tea
