Lemon muffins

Ingredients For Lemon Muffins:

The recipe for tender and aromatic glazed cakes is called lemon muffins. In our version, we glazed the muffins with a mixture of powdered sugar and lemon juice, then topped them with a slice of citrus fruit and fresh mint leaves for a visually striking and impactful outcome. This allows the sweet citrus taste of the dough to contrast with the sour notes of the topping, giving you a pleasing range of flavours. If desired, you can offer the desserts as part of a party buffet or Sunday brunch, or serve them as a stand-alone dessert served with a glass of limoncello after the meal.

Ingredients For Lemon Muffins:

  1. Two chunks of organic lemons
  2. 150 g of powdered sugar
  3. 130 g of flour (Type 405)
  4. 70 millilitres of milk
  5. 50g cornflour
  6. 40 ml of sunflower oil
  7. Eight grams of baking powder
  8. Two slices of eggs

Regarding the lemon glaze:

  1. 80g of powdered sugar
  2. Three tablespoons of lemon juice

To sum up:

  1. One organic lemon
  2. Mint leaves that are fresh
  3. The zesty and invigorating take on the traditional American muffin is the lemon muffin.
  4. These delectable lemon sweets are produced from organic citrus peel and juice.

Instructions For Lemon Muffins:

  • Step 1: Gather the powdered sugar into a bowl and add the shredded lemon peel for seasoning.
  • Step 2: Stir in baking powder, cornflour, and sifted flour.
  • Step 3. Combine the granules.
  • Step 4: Include milk.
  • Step 5: Add the seed oil in step five.
  • Step 6: Add the lemon juice, squeezed, to the other ingredients.
  • Step 7: Complete the egg process.
  • Step 8: Using a hand mixer, thoroughly combine everything.
  • Step 9: The finished product ought to be a creamy, lump-free blend.
  • Step 10: Spoon the prepared mixture into a muffin tin that has been lined with paper cases, filling it about two thirds of the way. Bake in a static oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes. The cakes should be taken out of the oven, taken out of the tin, and allowed to cool when the allotted time has passed.
  • Step 11: Make the icing in the meanwhile. Pour the lemon juice into a bowl with the sifted powdered sugar. Next, thoroughly stir with a spoon until the desired consistency of liquid sauce is achieved.
  • Step 12: Spread the muffin tops with the lemon icing.
  • Step 13: Add a half-lemon slice, a fresh mint leaf, and allow it to set.
  • Step 14: Transfer the lemon muffins to a platter, present them at the table, and cut them into pieces.

Suggestion For Lemon Muffins:

  • We suggest using delicious and low-acid lemons, like Sfusato Amalfitano, for this dish because they are fragrant and juicy. Or any other variety you happen to have at home works just fine, provided it hasn’t been chemically treated to make it safe to eat whole, skin and all, without posing any health hazards.
  • If desired, you can enhance the cakes with candied fruit, rehydrated raisins, or white chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can experiment with a more delicate and smooth version by incorporating well-drained cow’s milk ricotta from the whey into the other components.
  • If you’d rather, you can use oranges or tangerines in place of the lemons, or swap out the seed oil for 50 grams of soft butter.
  • For a maximum of four to five days, the lemon muffins can be kept at room temperature under a baking tray.

orzo pesto salad recipe

orzo pesto salad recipe

This simple recipe for orzo pesto salad is loaded with fresh vegetables, mozzarella, and a handmade basil pesto that doesn’t include any nuts. Ideal for a summer BBQ as a side dish, dinner, or lunch!

Prep Time: 5minute: s 
Cook Time: 5minutes 
Total Time: 10minutes 
Serving:8 servings

Components

wholesome pesto

  1. Use ½ to ⅔ cups of this recipe for basil pesto or store-bought

Orzo Salad:

  1. a half-cup of raw orzo
  2. one medium-sized English cucumber, quartered
  3. Two cups of halved delicious cherry tomatoes
  4. One yellow pepper, chopped and with seeds
  5. One cup of small, drained pearl mozzarella balls

Directions;

  1. To prepare the orzo, place it in a big pot of boiling salted water. Cook al dente per the directions on the package. I like to cut the cooking time in half or in half. Then, to prevent it from cooking any longer, strain and rinse under cold water. Place aside.
  2. Put Pesto: Pour in one batch of this pine-nut-free pesto. As an alternative, you may add ½ to ⅔ cups of pesto from the grocery.
  3. Put Salad Together: Toss the cooked orzo, bell pepper, cucumbers, tomatoes, and little pearl mozzarella balls in a big bowl. Over the salad, drizzle with the pesto and toss to coat. Have fun!

Notes:

  • Gluten-free: I suggest using this Jovial’s Brain-free Cassava Orzo or Banza rice in place of the orzo.
  • Bring the orzo al dente. Take the orzo from the fire and strain it; it will continue to cook. The orzo stays tender when cooked al dente and cools. Nobody like overdone, soggy orzo salad.
  • Chill the orzo before adding the veggies and pesto. The fresh cucumber, tomatoes, and bell pepper will soften and wilt if you toss them with hot orzo. To chill the cooked orzo, I suggest draining it and running it under cold water. Ensure it is completely dry before incorporating the pesto.
  • Include protein. Feel free to top the salad with grilled chicken, salmon, prawns or steak to make it a full dinner.
  • Storing: You may keep leftovers in the fridge for up to five days if you keep them in airtight containers.

AIR FRYER BUTTER COOKIES

AIR FRYER BUTTER COOKIES

Perhaps the simplest baked cookie recipe ever is for butter cookies baked in an air fryer. Four ingredients, quick bake, no need to preheat the oven, and instant preparation.

HOW TO USE AN AIR FRYER TO BAKE BUTTER COOKIES

  • sugar:The nicest sugars are soft brown or white.
  • butter:Make careful you use unsalted butter of high quality. The flavour of the cookies comes from the butter, so make sure you use plenty of it (and definitely don’t use margarine or vegetable oil spread!
  • Ground almonds: these give the cookies a lighter texture and more nutrients.
  • flour for all purposes.
    I adore the simplicity of basic butter cookies, but if you’d like, you may add additional ingredients as well. Some ideas are as follows:
  • A quarter of a cup of chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup of walnuts, chopped
  • two tablespoons of candied ginger, chopped
  • Two tablespoons of white chocolate chips and two
  • tablespoons of chopped dried cranberries
  • Half a teaspoon of zest from lemons

Directions:

Step 1: Grease or line a baking sheet or pan with parchment or baking paper.

Step 2: Beat the sugar and butter together until they are frothy and light. Usually, I accomplish this using a mixer. While the traditional method also works well, it may need a significant amount of work to achieve a fluffy consistency. This is a crucial step since it determines the cookie’s texture because of how light you can make the butter and sugar.
Step 3: Add the ground almonds and sift the flour into the creamed mixture. Work until thoroughly mixed.

Step 4: The dough should be chilled for at least 20 minutes. This stage is crucial to guarantee that the cookies maintain their shape during cooking and to make the dough easier to work with in the following step.

Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F, or 160°C. While not strictly necessary for all air fryers, you really want the air fryer to be hot when you add cookies so they don’t begin to spread before the air fryer reaches temperature.

Step 6: Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the cookies with a cookie cutter, rerolling the dough as necessary to use it all.

Step7: Transfer cookies to pan or baking sheet that has been ready. Place the baking pan into the air fryer basket with caution. The butter cookies should be air-fried for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Cook any leftover dough in divided halves.

prep time: 20 MINUTES
cook time: 10 MINUTES
total time: 30 MINUTES

Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 cup softened butter
  2. one-fourth cup sugar
  3. 1/4 cup of almonds, ground

Directions:

  1. Grease or line a pan or baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare it.
  2. Beat together butter and sugar till frothy and light.
  3. Add the ground almonds and sift the all-purpose
  4. flour into the creamed mixture.
  5. Work until thoroughly mixed.
  6. Dough should be chilled for 20 minutes.
  7. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F, or 160°C.
  8. Roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch on a surface dusted with flour.
  9. Cut the cookies with a cookie cutter, rerolling the dough as necessary to finish them.
  10. Line a pan or baking sheet with cookies.
    Place the baking pan into the air fryer basket with caution.
  11. The butter cookies should be air-fried for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are pale golden.
