Just satisfied my baking craving...
Today's creation: Lemon Cranberry Cupcakes (adapted from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess)
It's a delightful teatime treat. Not too sinful and goes perfectly well with hot tea or milk.
Lemon Cranberry Cupcakes
Makes 24 small cupcakes
1/4 cup butter
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
approximately 3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
Cranberries
1. Preheat oven to 200 deg c
2. Melt the butter and set it aside to cool
3. Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and zest
4. In a measuring cup, pour in the lemon juice, and then enough milk to come up nearly to the 1 cup mark
5. Beat in the egg and melted butter.
6. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir briefly; the batter should scarecely be combined.
7. Fold in the cranberries, spon this mixture into muffin cups and bake for about 20 minutes or when the tops spring back to your touch.
8. Leave in the pan for 5 minutes to cool slightly, then sit them on a rack to cool for a further 10-15 minutes
