Quick vanilla muffins
Muffins are a favorite delicacy not just for children. In stores, however, they tend to be quite expensive and mostly full of additives and emulsifiers.

They must be placed in a silicone or metal muffin tray because the heat deforms them. |If you have this kind of paper cups but don´t have a muffin tray, then use a simple trick. Put them on a normal baking tray close to each other, and thus they can not spill. For this you can use small baking bowl or porcelain pot. |The more the dough is thicker, the less they rise during baking and vice versa.
