Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs – separated into whites and yolks
- 45ml corn oil – the smooth operator
- 100ml plain yogurt – the creamy heart
- 80g (2.8Oz) cake flour – the foundation
- 15g corn starch – the perfect binder
- 1g salt – a pinch of balance
- 7-8 drops of lemon juice – a zesty twist
- 50g (1.8Oz) sugar – the sweet symphony
Instructions:
Embark on this journey by preheating your oven to a gentle 150°C (300°F). This warm embrace will ensure our muffins rise to perfection.
In a serene mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt and corn oil. The union of these ingredients promises a moist muffin texture.
Sift in the cake flour and corn starch, ensuring a lump-free batter. This mix is the canvas upon which our muffins will be crafted.
Now, to this canvas, introduce the egg yolks. Whisk them in, watching as they enrich the batter with their golden hue.
Turn your attention to the egg whites. In a separate, clean bowl, place them along with the lemon juice and salt. As you whisk, let them froth and foam, reaching airy heights. Gradually add the sugar in three parts, continuing to beat until the whites stand tall in stiff peaks.
Gently fold a third of this airy meringue into our yolk batter, ensuring a smooth blend. Once incorporated, pour this mix back into the remaining meringue, folding to create a unified, smooth batter.
Prepare your baking pan with cupcake liners, filling each up to three-quarters full with our dreamy batter.
Before these muffins embark on their baking journey, tap the pan lightly on the counter. This little gesture ensures no air bubbles are trapped within.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, letting them rise and turn a beautiful golden color.
Once baked, tap the pan again, a gentle shake to loosen the muffins. Transfer them onto a wire rack, letting them cool, but not for long. These muffins are best enjoyed warm, their soft texture complemented by a glass of cold milk.
Every muffin is a story, a blend of ingredients, a dance of flavors. Whether you’re looking for a breakfast treat, an afternoon snack, or a dessert to end the day, these Whimsical Whirl Yogurt Muffins are the answer.
