Mantecadas
Mantecadas are a type of sweet pastry that originated in Spain. They are similar to muffins or cupcakes, but usually have a denser texture and are flavored with ingredients like lemon or cinnamon. They are often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea as a delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a muffin tin or use paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the melted butter and continue mixing until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the Mantecadas to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
