Gingerbread Cupcakes (Cupcakes de Jengibre)




And here we are a few days from Christmas. 
 Always for Christmas  is the same for more than one starts with time the days fly.

I wanted to make a recipe (Christmas's recipe)) before Christmas Eve.
And then the recipes that I will make for Christmas day will come.

Here has been crazy not only for many things  some of you know that here( Southern hemisphere) is summer and has been very hot.
I would love to live in these days in the Northern Hemisphere.
Good but it's where one lives. In between I made marmalade of apricots and strawberries.

And you know Im caring my mom, I thank you when you ask me about her, it's fine but very fragile. I hope she gets up tomorrow andfor Christmas maybe she will be better to wake up. She gets tired so much.

Ok now the recipe!  this recipe has enchanted everyone and that the taste of spices is felt in the cupcake.
I made a lighter glasse with cream cheese and it was very good. The ornaments of the little gingerbread men are bought at Amazon. but you can garnish with some sprinkles and will be fine.

I wish you all a beautiful and blessed Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Method


Preheat oven to 350°F (180°c) and line 12 count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a handheld  or stand mixer beat the butter and brown sugar together  on medium speed until creamy. Beat in the egg until combined, scaping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the milk,molasses an vanilla on medium speed. Mixture will be piecey and not fully combined.

Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now  which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far.  Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer ,  and   with all the problems we are living here  in our  country now   is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses.  Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And  I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray   for for our country  we need it.  I made my first strawberry jam and I hope to make apricots jam soon. And I  made this crumble a few weeks ago (time

Baked-Egg Tartlets ( Tartas con huevo al horno y ensaladas)

Spring is just starting  here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold.  But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago)  And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house  and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years. Baked egg tartlets About the recipe are   simple and delicious individual tarts  with a mustard sauce and  egg inside that is baking in the oven. Are really  delicious. I love to serve  with  asparagus and some salads. A big hug to all and have a nice weekend!

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all ! Source
