How To Make Mantecadas
Mantecadas are sweet, buttery Mexican muffins that are oh-so-easy to make. They're great with coffee and cream or rich hot chocolate.
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-Purpose Flour
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter , (or substitute with ½ cup of lard or ½ cup of shortening)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Beat the butter with the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy and pale in color, this should take about 2 minutes.
-
Add ⅓ of the dry ingredients, followed by ⅓ of the wet ingredients. Repeat until you've added all of the dry and wet ingredients.
-
Cover your batter with plastic and let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours. After the batter has rested in the fridge, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
-
Add 3 tablespoons (or two 1½ tbsp cookie scoops) of the batter to each of the cupcake liners. Bake your muffins at 425 degrees F for 8 minutes, then lower the temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 8 more minutes. Let your muffins cool completely before serving.
