Black Currant Muffin

May 7, 2018

Muffin is an American version of a cupcake, a small round or oval pastry, mostly sweet. A sweet, slightly moist dough will not leave anyone indifferent. If you ever try them in life, you will not be able to give it up anymore. And they are also incredibly versatile. use any stuffing, any fruit berries or nuts or ham and cheese, all you want. They will still be beautiful.

The whole secret of cooking is that all the ingredients are well mixed. In the cupcake test, you usually add less oil and sugar and more liquid (milk, kefir, yogurt, eggs), so they are more dietary. Ready-made cupcakes are mini-cakes made from small crumbs with large air bubbles and dense crust, but they are stored no more than one day, so eat them fresh.

And now we will prepare muffins with black currant. The sour berry perfectly complements the sweet dough.
