Mint Drop Muffins


It is time for Italian Ferragosto holiday and usually everybody is home enjoying time with their family and friends. As in Verona there is tourism all year long despite the national festivities I'm going to work.. to make my colleagues happy I made these muffins :)

MINT DROP MUFFINS

Muffins:
3 eggs
130 g (1,5 dl) sugar
75 g margarin
150 g Mint drops
200 g (3 dl) white flour
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons baking flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
100 g natural yoghurt

Topping:
200 g icing sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons milk

+ Mint drops on top

Preheat oven 180 C. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners (12 pieces)
Melt the mint drops in a medium heat in a microwave resistant container.
In a bowl whisk eggs and sugar until the foam is white. 
In another bowl mix together flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Start adding them in the first bowl together with room temperature margarin, yoghurt, and then melted mint drops . Mix carefully.
With a kitchen spoon fill the muffin liners and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Prepare the topping by mixing together icing sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla sugar and milk.
Cover the muffins with the topping and place in the fridge. Serve cooled.
