Baking with the addition of kefir usually turns out to be fluffy and weightless. It looks like a traditional cupcake or biscuit, but at the same time, the dough for cupcakes on kefir is much easier to prepare and not so capricious. The porous structure inherent in such baking is explained by the interaction of kefir, containing acid, and soda or baking powder.
Products made according to recipes of muffins on kefir in molds, quickly prepared and baked, they are suitable to quickly “build” something for guests who suddenly appeared suddenly.
General principles of cooking keksfir on kefir
There are many recipes for muffins on kefir in molds. Most often, they are, of course, cooked with sugar. However, you can bake and not sweet, and salty or spicy products. They are suitable for those who do not eat sweets, and can also be used instead of snacks or a delicious breakfast.
In addition, you can use almost anything: raisins, candied fruits, fruits, berries, chocolate, jam, condensed milk. And in unsweetened keksfi on kefir you can add cheese, greens, sausage or bacon, spinach, boiled chicken and much more. Funny snacks are obtained by kneading tiny cauliflower blossoms into the dough. In general, it is always possible to supplement the recipe of muffins with kefir in molds with some additives. Just make sure that the additions are not too much: the dough can rise badly.
For baking cupcakes on kefir is best to use silicone molds. They can even not grease: baking is still easily removed from them. If there are no silicone molds, you can use metal ones, but then it’s better to put paper ones in them. This is also a good option. You can serve such baking right in a paper mold, which allows you to take such cupcakes with you on a picnic or on a trip, if you are not sure that you can wash your hands before eating: you can eat these cupcakes without touching them. Ready-made sweet cupcakes on kefir can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or covered with lipstick or icing. Unsweetened muffins can be sprinkled with grated cheese and put in the oven for a couple of minutes.
In the dough should be poured no more than to the middle, because baking rises strongly in the oven.
The willingness of cupcakes on kefir should be checked using a splinter or wooden toothpick.
