Cupcakes are a quick and easy option for homemade dessert. There are a lot of recipes for making cupcakes. Among them there are the simplest, and festive, exquisite. Depending on what additional ingredients you add to the dough or filling, the taste of the finished product changes.
I suggest making cupcakes with bright sunny dried apricots. The finished muffins are fluffy with an orange-yellow crumb. After baking, the crust of the muffins is somewhat hard, but becomes softer as it cools. Please your household with beautiful and fragrant pastries.
We will prepare the ingredients for making muffins with dried apricots according to the list.
Wash the dried apricots well, pour boiling water over them and leave for 20-30 minutes to swell. Alternatively, dried apricots can be boiled in a saucepan until soft and then cooled.
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, add salt and mix well.
In the container where we will knead the dough for muffins, put sugar and butter. Beat with a mixer.
Add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.
When the dried apricots become soft enough, use a submersible blender to puree them together with the water in which they were steamed.
Add the resulting puree to the sugar-butter mixture and mix with a spatula.
Add flour and baking powder in parts. Mix quickly but carefully with a spatula or spoon. The result is a soft, airy dough.
It is advisable to use silicone molds that are not small. The diameter of my molds is 6 cm, height is 5 cm. We spread the dough, filling the molds 2/3 of the volume. If you are not sure about the quality of your molds, then grease them with a small amount vegetable oil. I didn't grease my molds.
Place a baking sheet with molds in an oven preheated to 180-190 degrees. Bake the cupcakes on a medium level for about 25-35 minutes (depend on your oven). Be sure to check for a dry skewer.
Muffins with dried apricots are ready. Remove them from the molds, cover with a towel and let cool. Sprinkle the cupcakes with powdered sugar and serve.
