Tips to make us look rich and fluffy

• Use quality ingredients like homemade eggs (if possible) and soft extra virgin olive oil instead of butter .
• All ingredients must be at room temperature. So you must remove them from the refrigerator about 10-15 minutes before starting the recipe.
• The flour should be wheat and loose, not strength. Preferably “pastry”, which you can easily find in any store or supermarket.
• Preheat the oven well to a high temperature (220-230º C) so that they then rise well and take in air, due to the contrast of heat. We preheat with “up-down” heat.
• To get some muffins with pompadour we will use silicone non-stick molds, where we will introduce the curled paper baskets. We will fill the curled paper molds to ¾ parts capacity. With this amount it is enough to achieve a good pompadour.
• Once we have the dough prepared, we will put it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. The contrast of heat when putting them in the oven will make them grow better and with more “air”.
• The yeast used for cupcakes is Royal chemistry, which makes the dough grow with air.
• As in almost all the traditional recipes of our mothers and grandmothers. Here we will also add a pinch of salt, and with it we will be able to enhance the flavor and better aerate the dough.

Tips for baking and preserving

• Once they are in the oven, we should never open the door. Since we would interrupt the process and the cupcakes would be lowered. We will place them on the metal tray in the central position.
• When we remove them from the oven, we will let them rest so that they settle well and then we already remove them from the silicone molds.
• They will be kept in perfect condition for several days. You can place them on a tray and have them covered with a clean cloth. Or better yet, store them in a metal cookie box.
• In this recipe we have not used any aromatic element but you can add what you like the most: lemon or orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla, etc.
