Инструкции
- * Note: Don't use self-rising flour.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the dry ingredients into a medium-size mixing bowl, and set the bowl aside. Break the Large eggs into a small bowl, and set aside.
- In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and the sugar till they are light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 min. With the mixer running, carefully pour in the Large eggs and the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Fold in the flour mix and the buttermilk by alternating between 1 c. of flour and 1/2 c. of buttermilk; be sure to start and end with the flour mix.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Fill each c. with batter using an ice-cream scoop with a 1/4-c. capacity; the batter should nearly reach the top of the c.. Bake for 25 to 30 min.
- Cold the cupcakes for 45 min on a baking rack. Generously ice them with White Frosting. Top with a Snowflake made from Royal Icing.
- WHITE FROSTING: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the confectioners" sugar and butter till smooth. Add in the salt, lemon extract, and lowfat milk; beat till smooth. If the icing is too thin, add in more confectioners" sugar; if too thick, add in more lowfat milk.
- Makes 2 dozen cupcakes.
- NOTES : Special thanks to Ina Garten, owner, The Barefoot Contessa, East Hampton, NY. These are especially rich and delicious cupcakes. Use an ice-cream scoop to neatly and proportionately fill the cupcake tin.
