Cottage cheese muffins in the oven in silicone molds

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make cottage cheese muffins in the oven in silicone molds? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take good quality butter, as the taste of baking will depend on it. Cottage cheese is suitable for any fat content. It is better that it be pasty, smooth, not too wet. Rub the granular cottage cheese through a sieve or punch it in a blender to a homogeneous consistency without lumps.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour into a suitable container. This is necessary in order to enrich it with oxygen, then the baking will be treated lush and airy.

3. Step 3:

   

   Drive the eggs into a deep dry container, be sure to wash them beforehand and wipe them dry with paper towels. Add a pinch of salt and beat with a mixer until fluffy.

4. Step 4:

   

   Without stopping whipping, add sugar in parts. Continue to beat with the mixer until the mass lightens and becomes lush.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the mashed cottage cheese to the egg mass. Beat with a mixer until smooth.

7. Step 6:

   

   Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave. Add to the total mass and beat everything again with a mixer.

8. Step 7:

   

   Mix part of the flour with baking powder, so it will be evenly distributed over the dough. Add the flour, but not all at once, but in parts. Each time kneading the dough well with a spoon or silicone spatula. Please note that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus on the consistency of the dough. It should be a little thicker than on pancakes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Silicone molds do not need to be pre-lubricated with anything, since there is already oil in the dough and the baking will not stick to the silicone. Fill the molds to 2/3 of the height (about 1 table. l) test. Bake in a preheated 180 °C oven for about 30 minutes (I have an electric oven top-bottom mode). Focus on your oven.

10. Step 9:

    

    How to determine the readiness of muffins? Focus on the color of the baking. When the muffins are browned, pierce them with a wooden skewer or toothpick. If it comes out dry, without sticking dough, then it's done. Take the pastries out of the oven. Cool slightly and remove warm from the molds. You can decorate muffins with powdered sugar, fresh berries, fresh mint leaves.

    The texture of the muffins turned out to be airy, dense, although quite loose. Pastries are perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee.
