Cottage cheese cupcakes in molds in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake cottage cheese cupcakes in molds? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Which cottage cheese is better to use? An important point: cottage cheese should be fat, soft (not grains), well rubbed into a homogeneous mass, be moderately moist (not raw). Choose pressed cottage cheese in briquettes with a fat content of at least 5% (preferably 9%), it is more homogeneous and mixes well with the rest of the ingredients. You can also use fat cottage cheese purchased on the market.

2. Step 2:

   

   Chop the cottage cheese with a blender, scroll through a meat grinder or wipe through a metal sieve. We need a homogeneous, airy curd mass without lumps.

3. Step 3:

   

   Melt the butter in the microwave or in a water bath. Be sure to cool the melted butter.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a separate container, beat the eggs with a mixer or whisk until fluffy.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar or sweetener. Instead of white sugar, you can take cane sugar, it will give a caramel tint to the aroma of baking. Also add salt and vanilla sugar, which can be replaced with vanilla (at the tip of the knife). With the dosage of vanillin, you should be careful, because if you take more than you need, it will give bitterness to the taste. Continue whipping.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the mashed cottage cheese to the egg mass, whisk everything until smooth.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour in the melted cooled butter. Mix well.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sift wheat flour mixed with baking powder into the resulting mass. If necessary, change the amount of flour up or down. The main thing here is to achieve the desired thick consistency.

10. Step 9:

    

    The dough should be quite viscous, a little thicker than pancakes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Take heat-resistant portion molds for cupcakes. I have silicone ones, so I didn't lubricate them with anything, but if you have metal or ceramic ones, lightly lubricate their bottom and sides with refined vegetable oil. Fill them with dough 2/3 of the height. If you want, use one large cake pan, but in this case, keep in mind that the baking time may increase.

12. Step 11:

    

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance (10-20 minutes). Bake the products for about 20-30 minutes until ruddy and dry skewers. The time and temperature are given approximately and will depend on the characteristics of your oven and the size of the cupcakes. The smaller the molds and, accordingly, the cupcakes, the less time it will take to prepare them. And vice versa.

13. Step 12:

    

    Take out the molds. Cool the pastries, transfer to a flat, beautiful dish. Generously "powder" them with powdered sugar, brew fragrant tea. Have a nice tea party!
