Mantecadas

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, (room temperature)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup whole milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil ((canola or avocado work great))

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved.

3. 3

   Whisk in the orange zest, vanilla extract, and milk.

4. 4

   Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to mostly combine.

5. 5

   Add the vegetable oil and whisk together until the batter is completely smooth.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Lightly tap the cupcake pan on the counter 2-3 times to help even out the batter and get rid of any large air bubbles.

7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

8. 8

   Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
