Recipe from Munira:

GLAZED VANILLA CUPCAKES

Ingredients:

135g Self-raising Flour
80g Cake Flour
160g Caster Sugar
115g Cold Butter, cubed
2 Large Eggs
120g Fresh Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Method: (Exactly how I would do it)

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. And line 16 muffin pan.

2. Place your mixing bowl on your weighing machine. Measure out your self-raising, cake flour and sugar.

3. Use your hand mixer (not turned on) to just get the ingredients mixed. Then chop some butter and place it in a bowl over the scale and measure out the right amount.

4. Then on your hand mixer and blend the ingredients until you get a crumbly sand-like texture.

5. Next, add your eggs and continue to mix until it becomes thick.

6. Finally, place your bowl back on the scale and measure out your milk and add your vanilla. Continue to beat until you reach a smooth texture. Stop immediately when it's smooth.

7. Scoop into your paper liners and bake for 20 minutes.
