Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
- A few drops pink food coloring
- A few drops blue food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by heating the oven to 350°F and arranging mini muffin liners in the tin.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
- In a separate vessel, blend liquid components thoroughly – incorporating milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cotton candy flavoring until silky smooth.
- Slowly introduce wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a unified batter without overmixing.
- Separate the batter into two equal portions, then transform each section with vibrant pink and blue food coloring.
- Create a playful marbled effect by carefully spooning alternating colored batters into each mini muffin cavity, using a toothpick to create delicate swirls.
- Transfer the tin to the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until a testing skewer emerges completely clean.
- Allow the miniature treats to cool completely, transforming into delicate, cloud-like confections.
- Elevate the presentation by optional garnishing with fluffy whipped frosting and delicate cotton candy fragments for an extra touch of whimsy.
Notes
- Customize colors by using gel food coloring for vibrant, even-toned batter without altering liquid consistency.
- Prevent over-mixing by gently folding ingredients until just combined, ensuring tender, light cloud bites.
- Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the fluffy texture.
- Store bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to preserve their soft, delicate crumb.
