Cup cakes First try.

My first attempt with a simple cup cake recipe.  

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 1/3 cups sugar

3 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 large eggs.

Line cup cakes paper in cup cake tray, start the oven.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Then add shortening, milk and vanilla

Beat 1 minute on medium speed.

Add eggs to the mixture

Beat 1 minute on medium speed.

Beat high speed 1 1/2 or until well mixed.

Heat oven 350 degrees or 210 European 

Bake for 20-25 minutes and check with toothpick.  It must come out clean.

Suggestion:  Spread chocolate jam or mix chocolate chip into the mixture for chocolaty taste.  

This is the beginning of my cupcake adventure.

Cinnamon rolls.

On the first Sunday of November, I tried my hand at baking cinnamon rolls.  It looked good and it tasted good but there was still room for improvement.  What happened was, I did not allow the dough to rise because the kitchen wasn´t warm enough.  Next time, I will use the trick of making the dough rise in a warmed up oven.  Next time I will add chocolate chips instead of raisins...don´´t know how it will turn out.
