Yummy cupcakes with colouful smarties in them. Great for kids parties and are devoured by kids and adults alike. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups self-raising flour |
1/2 cup butter (softened) |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1 cup milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
5 (40 g) packets smarties candies (can also use m&ms) |
Directions:
1. Blend butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in eggs and milk and orange zest.
3. Mix 4 packets of smarties in quickly with a few strokes otherwise they will start to dye the batter.
4. Gently fold in the flour.
5. Divide mixture into a 12 hole muffin tray and add a few extra smarties from remaining packet on top.
6. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 Celsius.
7. Note that the smarties remain soft in the cupcake.
8. Edited to add: These are wonderful when covered with Kitten's Buttercream icing and decorated with an assortment of lollies. The photo is of some of these cupcakes that my niece ( a chef in the making if I ever saw one) and I did for my son's birthday party a few years ago.
