Magdalenas are traditional Spanish cupcakes, often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. They are light, fluffy, and subtly sweet, making them a delightful treat. This recipe provides you with a simple yet delicious way to make magdalenas at home using basic ingredients.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg until it is frothy.
- Add the sugar to the beaten egg and continue to mix until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Gradually add the milk and olive oil to the mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is just combined without over-mixing. The batter should be smooth and lump-free.
- Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each one about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Magdalenas are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the Magdalenas to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the Magdalenas are ready to serve. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps in achieving a smooth batter that rises well during baking.
- When mixing the batter, do not overwork it. Overmixing can result in dense magdalenas instead of light and fluffy ones.
- After filling the cupcake liners with batter, let them rest for about 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps the batter settle and can contribute to a better rise.
- For an extra touch of sweetness and a slightly crisp top, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top of each magdalena before baking.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start baking to ensure even cooking.
- Use good quality olive oil for a richer flavor in your magdalenas.
