Mondays We Cook: My First Cupcakes

When I made my first muffins I mentioned the intention to go one step further and make cupcakes. They are one of today's most popular desserts. These small delights are perfect for every occasion whether you offer them to someone else or you need some comfort food for yourself. I also love the fact that you can get creative when you decorate them. The possibilities are endless!

There are a few typical Carnival recipes in Spain but this is my favorite: orejas de Carnaval literally Carnival ears. This delicious, crunchy dessert is typical of the north of Spain. Its main ingredients are eggs, flour, oil and lots of white sugar. The anise-flavored dough is rolled out very thin, then fried and dusted with powdered sugar.
