Yes, i am a terribly lazy blogger, and i apologise. *wipps herself in the back*
After the well deserved punishment, let's resume the cooking.
My local supermarket now has a fairly big section of bulk stuff.
That includes a very nice selection of herbs, for my great delight.
It also opens a whole new world of food experiences. *beware!*
Today i decided to try and make lemon and lavender cupcakes.
Before we start, lavender tea anyone?
Lemon & Lavender Cupcakes
175gr softened butter, in chunks
175gr self-rising flour
175gr white sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
juice + zest of 1/2 a lemon
1 teaspoon of lavender leafs
I started by taking care of the lavender.
Since i had the whole flower, i had to separate the leafs (by hand).Then i crushed them a little, just to release the flavor. (it's a lie, i just like to use the mortar...)
Next, the batter.
Just put everything in the bowl, except for the lavender, and mix with an electric blender.
Don't you just love lemons? XD
Add the lavender to the batter, and mix it well
Did i forget to mention you have to have a tray + papper cups for the cupcakes?
And now for 20 minutes they cook. The hoven was pre-heated at 200ºC.
(and yes, i just couldn't resist showing off my kickass new timer!)
And voilá, gorgeous, golden and delicious cakes in a cup! XD
Happy nomnom, people! <3
