Muffins on kefir in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make muffins on kefir in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take eggs of category C1 or C0, flour of the highest grade. The fat content of kefir should be at least 2%, oil - 70%. Remove the eggs and kefir from the refrigerator for 1-1.5 hours. In order for the dough to be successful, they must be at room temperature. Cut the butter into small pieces and melt it.

2. Step 2:

   

   How to melt butter? This can be done in the microwave in the appropriate mode, on a small fire in a saucepan or in a water bath. To melt the butter in a water bath, take two containers of different diameters. Pour water into the larger one, put the smaller one on top so that its bottom sinks into the water by about half. Put the pieces of butter in it. When the water boils, the oil will start to melt. When it is completely melted, remove from the heat.

3. Step 3:

   

   Turn on the oven to preheat 180 degrees. Take a deep bowl in which it will be convenient to mix dry and liquid ingredients. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add sugar, salt and beat them with a mixer or whisk to a light fluffy foam. Adding salt improves the taste of muffins and simplifies the process of beating eggs.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift flour into a separate container. This is necessary in order to filter out small debris and the dough is saturated with oxygen. Add the baking powder to the flour and mix so that the baking powder spreads evenly over the flour.

6. Step 5:

   

   When the butter has cooled to room temperature, pour it into a container to the eggs beaten with sugar and mix thoroughly until smooth.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add kefir and mix everything thoroughly again with a whisk or millet with a spoon.

8. Step 7:

   

   Start adding flour in small portions. Knead the dough carefully with a spoon each time so as not to disturb the air structure of the beaten eggs. The dough should be homogeneous, airy, and the consistency is like thick sour cream. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave for 10 minutes to disperse the gluten.

9. Step 8:

   

   Use muffin and cupcake molds for baking. There is no need to lubricate the molds with anything, since there is enough oil in the dough. Fill them 3/4 full to leave room for the dough to rise. Bake for 30-35 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven at 180 degrees. Keep in mind that the cooking time depends on your oven and the size of the molds. The finished muffins will rise and turn red.
