SPANISH MAGDALENAS

Spanish magdalenas are a golden-topped, lemony treat. Quick and easy to bake, these homemade muffins are made with our Lemon EVOO. Serve as an unexpected hit at your breakfast or brunch, or along side savoury dinner dishes, too. 

INGREDIENTS:
3 whole eggs
1/2 cup sugar + 1 tbsp sugar for topping
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt 
1/2 cup Lemon EVOO (or Orange EVOO)

1/4 cup whole milk

DIRECTIONS:
In medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until creamy. Add dry mix to egg/sugar mixture and whisk until incorporated. Add EVOO and milk. Whisk until well combined. For spongy texture of classic magdalenas, cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in fridge for one hour. 

Preheat the oven to 480°F. Line muffin trays with muffin wrappers. Fill wrappers 3/4 of the way and sprinkle sugar on top of each to form a sugary crust. Before placing in oven reduce heat to 400°F. Bake for 15 minutes on middle rack. Test for doneness by placing toothpick in the middle that comes out clean. Remove and let rest for a few minutes.
