MINI CUPCAKE BAKING TIPS
•
Recipes may be halved or doubled.
•
Sift all dry ingredients together. It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately.
Just add them to the combined flour mixture and use a whisk or mixer to blend
the ingredients well.
•
Do not open the Mini Cupcake Maker during baking or the timing may vary.
•
Completely bake the mini cupcake before removing.
•
When preparing mini cupcake batter, do not over-mix or mini cupcakes will be tough.
Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
•
The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped mini cupcake, without overflowing,
will vary with different mini cupcake batters.
•
Add fun glazes and topping to cooled mini cupcakes. See Mini Cupcake Glazes and
Toppings section in the Recipe section of this Instruction Manual.
•
Baked mini cupcakes freeze well. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a plastic
freezer bag or in a covered container.
•
Thaw frozen mini cupcakes in a toaster oven until hot and crisp or place in a microwave
oven for 20 seconds. Do not overcook. Add glazes and toppings to the thawed,
cool cupcakes.
For lower sugar mini cupcakes:
•
Use sugar substitutes.
•
Use sugar-free maple syrup.
•
Use sugar-free or no sugar added jello, puddings, jellies, jams, etc. for flavorings
and toppings.
For lower fat, lower cholesterol mini cupcakes:
•
Use skim milk.
•
Adapt recipes by eliminating the egg yolk. Always use liquid vegetable oils such as
canola, corn or sunflower, instead of butter.
For lower fat, lower cholesterol mini cupcakes:
•
Substitute 1⁄2 cup or more of white flour with whole-wheat flour.
•
Substitute 1⁄4 cup of white flour with wheat or oat bran.
