Button Cupcakes

Cute little snack for your kids!

Ingredients:

~ 11/2 cups unbleached white flour

~ 1/2 teaspoon salt

~ 11/2 teaspoons baking powder

~ 3/4 cup sugar

~ 1/2 cup milk

~ 2 eggs

~ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

~ 1 stick butter

~ 12 Hershey’s kisses


Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F

  2. Put muffin paper in a muffin pan with 12 muffin cups

  3. Put a strainer over a bowl. Put in the strainer:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Gently shake the strainer up and down until everything sifts into the bowl

  1. Add 3/4 cup sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix in the sugar, and make a dent in the center. Put this aside for now

  2. Pour milk into a 2 cup measuring cup until it reaches the line for 1/2 cup.

  3. Break 2 eggs into a bowl. Add these to the milk, along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

  4. Put a whole stick of butter into a bowl, and it heat it in the microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, until it is melted. (Or melt it in a pot on the stove over low heat.)

  5. Pour butter into milk mixture.

  6. Slowly whisk the milk mixture until it is all one color and you don’t see any egg yolk.

  7. Carefully pour this into the dent in the flour mixture.

  8. Beat the batter with an electric mixer on low speed for 2 minutes.

  9. Stop the mixer and put it down.

  10. Pick up a rubber spatula and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl few times.

  11. Beat again with the electric mixer, this time on medium speed. Do this for about 2 minutes.

  12. Put down the mixer and scrape the bowl again with the rubber spatula.

  13. Put 2 full soup spoons of batter into each muffin paper.

  14. Put a chocolate kiss pointing down, into the center of each raw cupcake.

  15. Push it down a little with your finger, like you’re gently pushing a button. It should still show.

  16. Put the pan in the oven.

  17. Set the timer for 20 minutes

  18. Take the pan out of the oven.

  19. Cool for 15 minutes before eating.
