Magdalenas

Hello everyone.

I'm here with a new recipe.
Magdalenas are small sweet cakes with rich-tasting, but light and fluffy. The Spaniards traditionally eat them at breakfast with coffe with milk, and they are said to have originated in Aragon.
Nowadays magdalenas are not often prepared in homes but are sold in supermarkets and bakeries everywhere. These little cakes would be a great addition to the breakfast.

Then, let's go to know how to cook them! Is very easy,  this is the recipe to  makes 18 magdalenas.

(。◕‿◕。) Ingredients:
    4 eggs
    1 cup Granulated Sugar
    1 4 oz. stick Unsalted Butter
    1 2/3 cups Unbleached White Flour
    1 Tbsp Baking Powder
    Zest from 1 lemon
    1 Tbsp Milk

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Centigrade). Measure 1/4 cup sugar into small bowl and set aside.
Beat Eggs and Sugar:
In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 3/4 cup sugar.
Beat until the mixture seem  light.

Add Melted Butter and Lemon Zest
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter on medium on the stove top. Or, melt it in the microwave. Make sure that the butter cools slightly and is not bubbling. As you continue to beat the egg mixture, slowly pour in the melted butter, making sure to mix thoroughly. Stir in the lemon zest and milk.

Measure and Add Dry Ingredients
Measure out the flour into a separate bowl. Add the baking powder to the flour and mix thoroughly.
While stirring the egg mixture, add in the flour mixture. Continue to stir until all ingredients are mixed well. The batter will be very thick.

Spoon Batter in to Cupcake Pan:
Place paper liners in to cupcake pan. Use a large serving spoon to spoon batter into pan, filling each one half full. Batter will more than double in size when baked. Use a teaspoon to sprinkle each magdalena with a bit of the reserved sugar.

Bake
Place pans on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until magdalenas have turned a golden color. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before taking out of the pan to cool further.
