Muffins are small cupcakes that are usually cooked with different fillings. Muffins can be sweet or salty, depending on the additives used.
Muffins on kefir - the basic principles of cooking
As you already understood, the dough is kneaded on the basis of kefir. If the muffins are sweet, the kefir is ground with eggs and only after that add sugar. Baking soda is added directly to kefir, and the baking powder is mixed with flour and injected into the liquid mixture. In addition to kefir, eggs and flour, butter or good margarine is added to the dough. It is better to knead the dough with a spoon to make it easy. The mass should be homogeneous, thick enough and not have lumps.
The most popular fillers for sweet muffins are fruits, chocolate, berries, nuts and dried fruits. In salted muffins add slices of sausages, bacon or vegetables. Fillers are added to the dough and mixed.
Vanilla, cinnamon, citrus zest and spices are used as flavors.
Muffins are best baked in silicone cups. They are filled with dough, leaving 1/3 molds free.
Muffins are baked at 180 degrees for half an hour. Willingness is checked with a wooden toothpick or skewer.
The surface of the muffins can be decorated with icing, cream, or simply add sugar powder.
