SPANISH MAGDALENAS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Start by cracking four fresh eggs in a bowl. Add in 1 cup of sugar. With a whisk or an electric mixer, mix the eggs and sugar for eight minutes. If you do not have a whisk or an electric mixer at home, a fork will do; you just have to beat the mixture very well. 2. Gradually add oil to the mixture. Continue whisking as you add in all of the oil 3. Add in the lemon zest. 4. Sift your flour with a sieve. Add in the yeast and a pinch of salt. 5. Mix your wet mixture with your dry mixture. This time, do not beat so much, so you do not lose the air in the dough. Mix only until well incorporated. 6. Line your cupcake baking tray with paper molds. Pour the dough into the mold. Try to distribute the mixture evenly among all the paper molds. 7. Place the whole tray inside the refrigerator. Let the dough rest for at least half an hour to 40 minutes, allowing the dough to cool down. 8. Preheat your oven to 430 Degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). 9. After resting the dough, take the tray off the refrigerator. Sprinkle some sugar on top of each portion. Turn the heat down to 390 Degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and pop the tray in the oven. Bake the Spanish cupcakes for about 15 minutes, resisting the desire to open the oven door and check them. 10. After 15 minutes, take the tray out of the oven. Pierce the middle of one Spanish cupcake with a toothpick to check its doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. If not, place them back in the oven for another minute or two. 11. Let your Spanish magdalenas cool down before serving them.
