step by step photo recipe

Ingredients:

Sugar - 8 tablespoons
Flour - 170 grams,
Tangerines (peeled) - 2 pieces,
Egg - 1 piece,
Butter (or margarine) - 100 grams,
Soda - half a teaspoon
Vegetable oil (for lubricating molds),
Powdered sugar for dusting.

Cooking process:

Remove the butter (or margarine) from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens slightly by the time you start cooking and makes it easier to work with. After a little time, you can start preparing the dough.

In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar, cut into pieces and grind with a spoon or fork, then add the egg and stir until smooth (in this case, you can use a mixer or blender with the appropriate attachment).

Next step. Peel the tangerines and remove the seeds. Do not discard the peel. Place it along with the peeled tangerines in a blender bowl.

Grind everything until smooth. Add this tangerine mixture to the previous ingredients.

And don't forget about half a spoonful of quicklime soda.

The final ingredient in muffin dough is flour, which should be sieved. Pour the required portion of flour into the bowl, mix thoroughly and leave in the bowl for a while.

In the meantime, you should prepare the forms for future cupcakes. You can use silicone molds for baking (it is more convenient to remove already baked muffins from them). You can also use metal molds. Oil the molds and sprinkle with flour. Now you can put the dough into molds. In the process of laying out, make sure that no more than 2/3 of the volume is filled, since you need to take into account the fact that the dough will rise during the baking process.

The oven should be heated to 180 degrees. Bake the muffins until they are browned, and you can check the readiness with a toothpick. If no dough remains on the toothpick when piercing, the cupcakes are baked.

The baked goods can be left to cool in the tins, or they can be immediately laid out, for example, on a plate.

The final chord is to sprinkle the finished muffins with powdered sugar.

Tangerine muffins are ready! Cut them open and see what amazing delicate tangerine color gave the crumb, as well as feel the fragrance of tangerine in the air in the kitchen. These deliciously scented ones are perfect with a cup of freshly brewed tea. Bon Appetit!

You can make muffins with tangerine in another way, without grinding the pulp of the fruit with a blender. If you cut the tangerine into rings, put the circles on the bottom of the molds, and then put the dough on top, you get a cupcake with tangerine filling.

Another baking option is interesting. Prepare one large muffin in a slow cooker or oven.

And you can also use oranges, not tangerines, as a fragrant fruit base.

So go for it!

Small muffins made according to this recipe are juicy, tempting and flavorful.

I cooked them in silicone molds glasses in the form of a heart, in portions. But if you do not have muffin molds, then you can bake from this delicious dough one large muffin pie stuffed with tangerines. Then pour 2-3 doughs into the mold, then throw in the tangerine and cover with the rest of the dough.

If you don't have tangerine, you can replace it with pieces of chocolate, raisins, prunes, dates. Delicious cupcakes will be made too.

When to eat cupcakes

Our recipe muffins are delicious both fresh and refrigerated for several days. Then the muffins ripen and the taste takes on a distinct, slightly sour note. They are good different.

Is it necessary to add spices to muffins

If you suddenly do not have cinnamon and nutmeg, you can do without them or replace them with ginger, vanilla sugar and citrus zest. Or do not add any spices at all. The taste will be simpler, but you will still like it.

How to replace mandarin

The tangerine can be replaced with an orange, however, the advantage of tangerine is that the slice is placed whole, keeping the shell, and the orange will have to be cut into pieces, and it will slightly float in the baked goods, giving the cake some moisture. This is also delicious, but in a different way.

Which shelf to bake these cupcakes on

I bake these cupcakes from biscuit dough on the middle shelf in the oven, leaning towards the lower suggested temperature. So it is more likely that everything will be baked evenly. However, much depends on the characteristics of the oven and the intuition of the hostess. Focus more on smell.

You can pierce muffins with a toothpick, from the edge, in the center we will pierce a tangerine. If the wooden stick came out without lumps, dry, then the baked goods are ready.

Everyone who has tried it is pleasantly surprised by the tangerine wedge filling. It's like a little sunny hello from summer and delicious food!))

Is it necessary to make icing on cupcakes

You can pour the glaze over the muffins, you can leave it as it is. Sprinkle with candied fruits immediately, while the icing is wet, so that the colored pieces have time to adhere well to the muffins.

Enjoy your meal!

I always associate tangerines with the New Year. Earlier, when I was little, my father was given good gifts in his organization and there were always tangerines. I still remember this, and I tell my children how happy we were in New Year, because tangerines were in short supply during the Soviet era. They were brought to shops only on New Year's Eve, and there were always long queues for them. Our mothers and grandmothers still remember that only one kilogram was given to one hand! How wonderful that now our children can eat a variety of fruits practically all year round.
When the children had New Year's holidays, and I had nostalgia for my childhood, I spoiled them with tangerine pastries. Today I bring to your attention a recipe for tangerine muffins.

The cupcakes turned out to be delicious and aromatic, and I was pleased with the result! I invite everyone to the tasting.

Ingredients:

Sugar - 140 grams,
Flour - 170 grams,
Mandarins (with peel) - 2 pieces,
Egg - 1 piece,
Margarine or butter - 100 grams,
Soda - 0.5 teaspoon
Vegetable oil for lubricating molds,
Powdered sugar for dusting.

Cooking process:

Remove the butter or margarine from the refrigerator beforehand so that it is not very hard. When it lies down a little and becomes a little soft, you can start making the dough. Pour the required amount of sugar into the bowl and spread the butter, cutting it into pieces. If it has been with you for a long time, then you will not have to cut it into pieces, it will mix well with sugar anyway. But you don't need to melt it.

Rub it thoroughly with a fork or spoon, as you like. Next, add one egg. Mix well again so that everything is of the same consistency.

Tangerines need to be thoroughly washed and dried. I cooked the muffins with the rind, so the tangerine flavor is richer. There was no bitterness in ready-made cupcakes... The main thing is just to take out the seeds, there are very bony citrus fruits. We clean tangerines, divide them into wedges. We put in a blender bowl together with the peel, but without seeds. Wipe until smooth.

and put in the dough. Stir everything well, add half a teaspoon of soda (do not extinguish), and knead again.

Well, the last ingredient we need is flour. We sift it and pour the required portion into the bowl. Having mixed everything thoroughly, we leave it in the bowl for a while, and we ourselves will prepare the forms for our cupcakes.

Some of the molds I greased and sprinkled with flour, and some I did not. I wanted to check how they would "jump" out of silicone molds. Place the tangerine dough in muffin tins. The photo report shows how much dough I put in each mold and how, as a result, the cupcakes rose. It is not worth filling more than 2/3 of the volume.

One mold was missing and I made a cupcake in a metal cupcake. I will say right away, remove from metal forms ready-made baked goods harder than silicone, but quite possible. Do not forget to grease it with oil. The dough is in tins, all that remains is to bake the tangerine muffins.

We heat the oven to 180 degrees. We put the molds in a preheated oven. Cook until golden brown, checking readiness with a toothpick. If the dough doesn't stay on the stick, then the cupcakes are absolutely ready. You can leave them to cool in the mold, or put them directly on a wooden board. It can be seen that the bottom of all is beautiful and even.

Look at what orange baked goods ruddy and beautiful. Cutaway cupcake with tangerines bright color... It is a pity, through the monitor, you can not catch the magic smell that was fragrant in the kitchen. We brew our favorite tea and sit down in a friendly company to sample the cupcakes.

And on a citrus theme, you can cook one large one in a slow cooker or oven. It will be no less tasty, believe me!

When you realize the approach of the new year, an incredible desire wakes up to plunge into the New Year's mood, as in childhood. But what if they don't come in any way? It is worthwhile to start creating it yourself! Now tell us, what food do you associate with this holiday? I think there is no person who has tangerines missing from this list. So today we will cook delicious tangerine muffins with sour cream for the whole family!

Ingredients

tangerines - 4 pieces
flour - 350 g
sugar - 220 g
butter - 120 g
eggs - 2 pcs.
sour cream 20% - 200 g
icing sugar - 100 g
baking powder - according to the instructions

Step by step cooking process at home

All ingredients are very simple. It's up to you to make the glaze or not, but I liked the idea of using it. Well, let's start!

First you need to thoroughly wash the tangerines, because in this recipe we will use both pulp and zest. Do not worry, it is almost impossible to overdo it with tangerine zest, because it is not bitter at all, but what a flavor it will be!

Now we need to grind the tangerine slices. In some recipes, I met an instruction to chop tangerines in a blender, but since these citrus fruits are incredibly juicy, I thought that the dough would become too liquid, and did not dare to take such a step. Instead, I just cut the slices in half. If these pieces seem too large, cut into 3 pieces.

Highly important point: if you are going to make the frosting: squeeze the juice from 2-3 tangerine halves into a separate bowl. We use it to mix the glaze. About 2 tablespoons should be collected. Well, then I also threw the squeezed slices into the dough, since there was still a lot of pulp left there.

Chop the tangerine skins. Perhaps the most convenient way to do this is in such a blender, but you can just chop it very finely.

Now we will knead the dough. Grind heated butter, sugar and eggs.

Add sour cream and tangerine pieces along with the zest.

Finally, add the flour and baking powder.

All this is thoroughly mixed and laid out in molds. It is very convenient to use paper molds, because I only have 8 silicone molds, and I had enough dough for 20 muffins. And yet, try to tamp the dough a little, otherwise unpleasant cavities may form on the finished muffins. After baking in an oven preheated to 190 ° for 20 minutes, remove the muffins.

Mix the glaze: our amount of juice will take about a hundred grams icing sugar.

Its amount must be adjusted depending on the consistency: the glaze should be a little fluid, but thick. It will look something like this.

Lubricate the cupcakes with icing using a brush. You can try with a spoon, but I just couldn't get it to smear the edges.

And we serve for tea. Pets will be simply delighted!
