Fun Fair’s food

We’re sure you like fun fairs, the perfect place to go and have a good time with anyone, your friends, family and even to know new people. There you can find stalls, with a range of things, but there are also food stalls. In there, you usually find junk food, like candy floss, pop-corn, cakes, caramelized apples, Sweets, milk shakes, fried chips… For sure you’ve been told that this food is not good for your health. That’s not true. Obviously if you ate this kind of food everyday, it would be not good for your body, but sometimes you have to let your hair down and forget about your weight and diet. If you’re the whole day walking and moving in the fun fair, there’s no problem to eat a bit of fat. Of course that you can’t eat only fats, but they aren’t bad for a day.

But, here’s the history!

A cupcake, also known as fairy cake o patty cake, is like a muffin. But not as simply as it, it has also a wonderful decoration.

It’s not very bulky, as it is supposed to be for one person.

They were first made in the USA in the 19th century. This nourishment was done before muffins. Americans used to use cups, bowls and clay pots as molds for doing them, that’s the reason why they are called cupcake.

The recipe is based on butter, sugar, eggs and flour, just like all the other cakes.

HHHaaavvveee yyyooouuu eeevvveeerrr ttthhhooouuuggghhhttt tttooo mmmaaakkkeee aaa cccuuupppcccaaakkkeee???

There are a loads of ways to make cupcakes. The basic recipe is as simply as making a pie. Here you’ve got it : (24 pieces)

• 1 cup (250 gr) of butter (1-2 hours outside the fridge) • 2 cups of sugar • 4 large eggs (also, room temperature) • 2-3/4 cup of flour • 1-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder • 1 pinch of salt • 1 cup of milk • 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence

Here you’ve got, step by step, how to cook them : 1. Beat butter with the mixer until it becomes creamy. Add the sugar until it’s integrate and forms a light cream, about 3 minutes of beating. 2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 30 seconds after each addition. 3. Mix it with the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. 4. Add to bowl with butter, about a third of the dry ingredients, whisk. Add half of the milk with the vanilla and beat again until it’s combined. We repeat the step, alternating dry and liquid ingredients, ending with the dry. 5. With a spoon, put the mixture in the silicone molds directly and cover the mold with 3/4 of the preparation. Cook in the oven at 180 degrees until you insert a stick and it comes out dry. Check at 15 minutes, if they’re not ready, rotate the pans to prevent that somo cooks more than others. Do not open the oven

continuously!
