Step-by-step preparation of tangerine muffins in a hurry for the New Year's menu
1. Before starting the preparation of tangerine muffins, take out the butter from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature to soften its structure. Of course, you can warm it up in a water bath or in a microwave oven, but this does not always have a good effect on the structure of the dough. Then add sugar and beat. This process can be accelerated by replacing granulated sugar with powder.
2. Into the sugar-oil mixture, one by one, add the eggs preheated to room temperature, beating with a mixer. It is impossible to achieve an increase in the volume of such a mass, therefore, whisk until all the ingredients are uniformly mixed.
3. To enhance the citrus flavor in the tangerine muffins, whip up the zest. To do this, rub the orange part of the tangerine skin on a fine grater. This part of the fruit contains a large amount of essential oil, which gives a strong invigorating scent. Next, remove all the skin, cut the pulp and grind it through a strong sieve to get fresh juice.
4. If the juice was prepared using a special citrus press, then strain it to get rid of the pulp. After that, together with the zest, we send it into the dough and bring it to a uniform consistency.
5. Pour the sifted flour on top and add baking powder. Whisking with a mixer, we achieve the dissolution of all lumps of flour and an even distribution of the baking powder in the dough. The mass for the tangerine muffins should be medium thick.
6. While the dough is infused for 3-5 minutes, turn on the oven at 200 degrees and prepare the molds, greasing them with odorless vegetable oil or butter margarine. Pour tangerine dough into mold cells no higher than 2/3 of the height. This will prevent excess dough from running out of the container.
7. Baking time for tangerine muffins in a hurry - about 30 minutes. During this time, it is advisable not to disturb the preparing dessert with excessive attention, so that the mass does not fall off from the ingress of cold air into the oven. We check the readiness with a thin wooden stick. We immerse it inside the cupcake, take it out. If there is no fresh dough on the tip, then you can take out the mold.
8. Quality baked tangerine muffins have a golden brownish surface, break easily, and their structure is homogeneous and slightly crumbly inside. Their number depends on the volume of each cell of the form.
9. Tangerine muffins are ready for the New Year's menu! If desired, they can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or tangerine icing before serving. The dish can be served with mint leaves and chocolate wedges.
