MUFFIN RECIPE WITHOUT BAKING POWDER RECIPES

Steps:

• If the butter is too hard, soften it in the microwave for some seconds. Once the butter is soft, add the sugar and the eggs and blend well. After this, add the vanilla.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC)In another bowl, mix the whey or buttermilk with the baking soda and leave it aside.
• Take the first mixture and add half of the flour and the salt. Blend it well and then add part of the buttermilk/whey mixture with the baking soda that you've prepared before. Continue blending and then alternate the addition of the two mixtures (flour and whey/buttermilk). End the final addition with the flour.
• When the batter is all blended, pour it into muffin cups or into a muffin container and bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• To check whether the cupcakes are cooked, insert a toothpick in them. If the toothpick comes out clean, it means the cupcakes are fully cooked. If not, leave it for a couple more minutes.
• When the cupcakes are cooked, add the frosting (here's the recipes for Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla frosting) and all the decorations you desire.
