Muffins with savory filling inside. Amazing Snack Cupcake Recipes - Cooking at Home

Many people confuse muffins with muffins and cupcakes, they ask: is this the same dish or not? The difference between muffins and muffins is really small - they differ only in shape. The former are usually round and portioned, the latter are baked in large rectangular, round or ring-shaped forms, and only then cut into pieces.

Cupcake is another matter. This is the name for any portioned sweets that are prepared in disposable paper or aluminum molds, and on top are decorated with a curl of cream or a marzipan figurine. These can be muffins, for example, and puff small cakes, cream cakes or biscuits.

What is the best way to bake muffins? There are forms from different materials, each of which is good in its own way. It is convenient to get ready-made muffins from silicone, you can even not sprinkle them with oil before use. However, this soft material does not hold its shape well, so your cupcakes may not turn out too beautiful and the same. Metal molds, on the contrary, hold the dough well, but no matter how you grease them, part of the muffin can still “stick” to it and come off. That is, again, your dish will turn out to be not too beautiful. The third option is disposable paper molds. They are convenient because the muffin in a paper wrapper is very convenient to eat without touching the baked goods with your hands. You can take it with you to work, a picnic, give your child to school. Paper molds do not need to be oiled, but, like silicone, they also do not hold their shape well. That's why perfect option- put them in metal ones. This will make the muffins in disposable paper wrappers, but at the same time they will be smooth and beautiful.

Ekaterina Maslova, editor-in-chief of the magazine "Recipes from chefs":

“Seven years ago in Mexico, in a small restaurant in the city of Merida, I tried extraordinary muffins. They were not sweet, as usual, but spicy, with corn kernels and cheese. The pastries impressed me so much that I began to pester the waiter with a request to give me a recipe. Ten minutes later, the chef and the owner of the restaurant came out into the hall and told me how to cook these wonderful muffins. It turned out that corn and hot peppers- very popular ingredients in Mexican cuisine in general, and on the Yucatan Peninsula in particular. And they serve such unsweetened spicy muffins as an appetizer to beer, chilled white wine or instead of bread to traditional soups from corn or avocado. It was with this recipe that my hunt for savory muffins and muffins began, of which I already have a decent collection today. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the restaurant or the name of the chef. I am giving here the recipe exactly in the form in which I learned it in the distant Mexican city of Merida. "

Spicy corn and cheese muffins


Ingredients (on4-6 servings): 1 tbsp. wheat flour and 1 tbsp. corn flour (or 2 tbsp. wheat), 3 tsp. baking powder, 2 eggs, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. hot ground cayenne pepper (until the desired pungency), 1 tsp. paprika (for a beautiful color, you can not add), 1 can of canned corn (300-350 g), 150 g of cheese (preferably cheddar), 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 1 glass of milk (or water), 1 pinch of salt.

Toss, add canned corn and shredded cheese. Divide the mixture into greased tins over two-thirds of the glass and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 ° C.

Sergey Otdelnov, restaurant chefEshak:

“Unsweetened muffins can be baked with the most different fillings: ham, bacon, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, olives or olives, chopped garlic, grated cheese ... It is better if the ingredients are not too juicy, as this can make the dough too thin, muffins will take a long time to bake, or even in general will not be baked. If you still opted for juicy vegetables or fresh mushrooms, which give a lot of juice during cooking, first fry them in a pan in a small amount of vegetable oil, trying to evaporate as much liquid as possible. "

Muffins with ham and sun-dried tomatoes


Ingredients (for 6 large muffins or 12 small ones): 240 g flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 2 eggs, 240 ml of milk of 3.5% fat content, 25 g of butter, 30 g of sun-dried tomatoes, 65 g of cheese, 65 g of ham, salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions... Preheat oven to 190 ° C, oil the muffin dish. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and sieve through a sieve. Then in another bowl, combine milk, melted butter and eggs, add grated cheese, finely chopped ham and sun-dried tomatoes... Combine the resulting mass with flour and mix gently, but do not beat. If the dough is too thick, you can add a little milk and mix gently. Place the dough in a mold about two thirds and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The readiness of the muffins can be checked in the most usual way, simply by piercing with a wooden toothpick - no dough should remain on it.

Nikolay Sarychev, brand chef of restaurantsGarnetsand Rassolnikov:

“For this unsweetened muffin recipe, you can use any mushrooms you like or have available. In the season, it is best to take fresh Forest mushrooms- white, mushrooms, boletus, milk mushrooms, boletus, honey agarics, even chanterelles. In winter and spring, you can replace them with fresh frozen ones or take fresh mushrooms, portobello, oyster mushrooms. Try to choose small young mushrooms. The age of mushrooms significantly affects not only their taste. The younger the product, the more nutritious and healthy it is ”.

Marina Urusova, pastry chef of the mini-market “Gorod-Chell":

“Usually muffins, like the other traditional pastries, not suitable for vegans, because eggs and milk are added to them. People who look after their figure and health do not like the fact that there is a lot of sugar and butter in muffins. Here's a recipe for muffins that are delicious, healthy, and suitable for everyone. They contain no sugar, no eggs, no milk, no butter, no cream. If you want to make them even healthier, you can replace regular wheat flour with gluten-free flour. And one more tip: usually muffins and muffins with the addition of vegetable or fruit puree do not rise much, so you can put more dough in the molds than in other recipes. "

Mikhail Simagin, Chef, Bakery Cafe "Khlebnaya Lavka" and Siberia restaurant:

“Our muffin has two main flavors - rabbit and rosemary, and one additional - carrot. They all go well together and complement each other. Someone might have an idea to replace rabbit meat with something more familiar, such as white chicken or turkey. I would not recommend doing this. Still, poultry is more suitable for cooking in liquid, for example for stewing. But rabbit meat is ideal for baking, including in the dough. When you arrange the dough into the molds, insert a sprig of fresh rosemary into each muffin. This will give your baked goods a wonderful flavor. ”

Good to know about cupcakes


This dessert is pastry made from butter dough baked in tins with high sides. Baking powder or soda must be added to this type of dough. In addition, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, various flavors and aromatic additives are introduced into it.

Due to the content of eggs in the dough, it acquires a velvety structure, butter and sugar give the finished product softness. There are several options for kneading this dough, depending on the recipe. Please note: when cooking, it is necessary to observe some technological conditions - the order of adding products when creating a dough, all kneaded products must be at the same (room) temperature.

Products are baked at a moderate temperature in the oven for quite a long time. In the event that the crust becomes ruddy and the middle is still damp, cover the cupcakes with foil and bake until tender. We check the readiness in the old but effective way: with the help of a wooden splinter or a toothpick.

It seems that there are no people in the world who would not love sweet cupcakes. Soft melting dough, an abundance of candied fruits and spices, a festive taste - the best dessert you can't imagine for evening tea. But you can move away from the usual view of things.

Mix one and a half cups of flour with 2 tsp. baking powder and 1 incomplete tbsp. l. sugar, lightly salt - this is a mixture of dry ingredients. Now wet: 1 cup milk, quarter cup melted margarine, 3 cups grated hot cheese, large Bell pepper, cut into cubes (the brave can decide on chili), 1 egg. We combine both compositions, knead thoroughly, bake portioned muffins for about 25 minutes.

For a softer taste, you can take a mild cheese, and replace the pepper with an apple or canned pineapple.

Vegetarian Bread Cupcakes

Such a recipe will be appreciated not only by those who have given up meat, but also by those who need a result with a minimum of effort. Here the dough has already been made for us, so all that remains is to prepare a delicious filler.

Simmer onions in vegetable oil, add apples, celery, herbs. After 5 min. add 2 cups of water and keep for a couple of minutes. We send the stewed mixture and cucumbers to the bread, mix, trying not to destroy the cubes, season with salt and pepper. We put it in tins, bake until a delicious crust.
