Cakes / Re: Never Fail Cupcakes
« on: June 20, 2011, 03:32:03 am »
These are delicious!! The yummiest cupcake recipe ever- beautiful texture and flavour :) Thanks so much for sharing- I'm going to try the frosting too. Just made a batch of mini cupcakes and about to make up a 2nd batch of mix for normal sized cupcakes. I scoffed so much of the first lot that Im feeling a bit ill but it was SO worth it :D

eta- i added about 3 Tbsp milk to my mix- could probably even done with a little more than that as it was very thick :) and I also used butter instead of marg :)

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: mayonnaise

My never fail mayo is to have everything at room temperature, use vinegar instead of lemon juice as Tenina so kindly let us know (love that woman  :-*) then "cook" the egg and mustard on 37o for 2 min to ensure everything is the same temp. Then add timer for 5 min at 37o and add oil. have NEVER had a fail this way. DH even added the oil in less than 2 min the other day. I was horrified but it worked. I think the key is the temp at 37o Even with everything sitting at room temp, the stainless steel bowl is colder than an egg or vinegar in a plastic bottle same as oil in a glass bottle. Well that is my take on it anyway lol. All I know is that it works and we go through heaps of mayo as the teens like mustard mayo on their veg  :-))

THANKYOU KATHRYN! After 2 fails where I followed the EDC recipe exactly and used vinegar rather than lemon juice- I tried adding in the temp and it was PERFECT! YUM :-)
