Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside. (Note, this recipe makes 18 muffins)
- In a large bowl, using a fine mesh strainer, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a whisk or handheld mixer, beat eggs then add the sugar and mix until creamy.
- Add the milk and vanilla. Continue to whisk or beat with handheld mixer.
- Add the oil while whisking at the same time. Mix until every ingredient has integrated.
- Add the flour a little at the time and whisk each time. Whisk until there are no clumps. Do not over mix.
- Using a ¼ dry measuring cup, pour the batter into each liner filling it ¾ to the top.
- Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
- Storing – Place a layer of paper towel into the bottom of the sealed plastic container. Place the muffins on top and cover with another sheet or two of paper towel. This will absorb the moisture and prevent the top of the muffins getting sticky!
- Never refrigerate mantecadas. The cool temperature of the fridge changes the texture of muffins and makes them dry out faster rather than keep them moist.
