Never getting tired of vanilla. I love it in my yoghurt, in my tea, in my morning café au lait (my favourite Nespresso capsule), with berries and in ice cream...
In baking I haven't done many recipes without vanilla sugar on it. Choose the real vanilla products instead of vanillin (not the same thing, try to taste the difference).
VANILLA MUFFINS
Muffins:
2 eggs
130 g (1,5dl) brown sugar
160 g (2,5 dl) white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
50 ml vanilla soya milk
50 g melted butter
Topping:
200 g cream cheese
1 teaspoon of yellow colouring extract
250 g icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
+ rainbow sprinkles
Prepare a muffin tin putting on paper liners.
In a bowl whisk eggs and sugar to a white foam. Mix together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar). Start adding them together in the egg-sugar mixing carefully, then add vanilla soya milk and melted butter.
With a kitchen spoon fill the muffin forms and bake in the oven 200 C for about 15 minutes until the top of the muffins becomes golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Mix together cream cheese, colouring extract, icing sugar and vanilla sugar.
With a help of a spoon, place the topping on the muffins and decorate with sprinkles.
Place in the fridge and serve cooled with good tea of coffee.
