Lavender and Honey Cupcakes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and dried lavender over low heat until it is warm. Remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain the milk to remove the lavender and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the lavender-infused milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
