Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (180 ml) buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsps melted butter or oil
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Blueberries (optional)
- Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate oven to 190°C (375°F) with rack centrally positioned for uniform heat distribution.
- Setup: Thoroughly lubricate mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or insert delicate paper liners to prevent adhesion.
- Dry Mixture: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until perfectly integrated.
- Wet Integration: Form a crater in dry ingredients, introducing milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then tenderly amalgamate until just combined without excessive stirring.
- Flavor Enhancement: Optionally incorporate chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced bananas into the homogeneous batter for textural intrigue.
- Portioning: Employ a compact cookie scoop to distribute batter, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full with precision.
- Baking Process: Slide the tin into preheated oven, roasting for 10-12 minutes until poppers transform into golden-kissed morsels and a toothpick emerges immaculately clean.
- Cooling Technique: Allow poppers to rest within the tin for 5 minutes, then delicately transfer to a wire rack for complete temperature stabilization.
- Presentation: Serve these delectable miniature delights accompanied by maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a preferred complementary dipping sauce.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently and briefly to keep poppers light and fluffy, stopping as soon as ingredients are just combined to avoid tough texture.
- Control Moisture: Use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure even batter consistency and prevent dense, heavy poppers that lack airiness.
- Customize Flavors: Experiment with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, fresh berries, or chopped nuts, but limit additions to 1/2 cup to maintain batter structure.
- Achieve Perfect Browning: Fill muffin cavities only 3/4 full and watch closely during baking to prevent burning, rotating pan midway for even golden color.
