Ingredients

  1. 2 cupsflour
  2. 1 cupsugar
  3. Halfcup melted butter
  4. 2/3 cupmilk
  5. 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  6. Halfteaspoon salt
  7. 150 gramyoghurt
  8. 2large eggs
  9. 1 teaspoonvanilla

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Greese the paper cups with little butter (very important). It will be difficult to peel off the paper if you dont. You can use a silicon brush to do this.

  2. 2

    Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl then in a separate bowl, mix the vanilla, egg and yogurt gently until smooth. Greek yoghurt is prefarable. I didnt have it so i used Nagari yoghurt but this does not have the required consistency.

  3. 3

    Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix gently in one direction until everything is just incorporated and has a uniform colour then scoop into the muffin or cupcake papers and bake for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Bake at a slightly higher temperature than you would a cupcake. It should come out with a mushroom shape or a dome top (the one i baked is the first picture BUT IF DONE PROPERLY, IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE SECOND PICTURE)
