Cotton Cupcakes ( Cotton Cupcakes )
These cupcakes are soft and lightness beyond compare, like a cloud! A slightly different version of the classic vanilla cupcakes, but just as simple to make.
Ingredients :
2 eggs (room temperature)
120 g (1⁄2 cup + 2 c. with soup) powdered sugar
120 g (1 cup) of all-purpose flour
4 g (1 c. at coffee) with chemical yeast
80 g (1⁄3 cup) sweet butter (melted and slightly cooled)
60 ml (1⁄4 cup) of milk
2 c. at vanilla extract coffee
Instructions :
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and place casseroles in a muffin mold.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until the mixture is white and double the volume (about 3-5 minutes in the electric beater).
Sift together the flour and yeast, then gently incorporate them into the egg-sugar mixture in circular motions (avoid over-mixing).
Add the melted butter, milk and vanilla and mix just enough to homogenize. The dough has to be aerial.
Distribute batter into cupcake trays (3⁄4 filled).
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until cupcakes are golden brown and a toothpaste inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes in the mold before transferring to a grill.
Tips:
For even more fluffy cupcakes, substitute milk with whole milk or add 1 c. with sour cream soup.
Serve with a dash of icing sugar or vanilla ganache for an extra treat!
These cupcakes literally melt in your mouth… True happiness! 😊
