Now I have finally used my elderberry juice for anything other than to drink it. I made cupcakes with elder flower frosting! It feels very good to use something you've made yourself to something beyond its main use. Although I am not the person refusing a glass of elder flower lemonade, it is unfortunately not something I drink all that often, so it feels great that I can use the lemonade as a flavoring for anything else so it does not stand in the fridge untapped.
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1½ cups all prupose flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
a pinch of salt
How to:
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla white and very fluffy. Melt butter, add the milk and mix it with the egg mixture. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and carefully mix it into the batter. Place muffin tins on a baking sheet and fill them 2/3 full with batter. Bake in center of oven for about 15 minutes.
