Method

For the cupcakes:

•  In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together with an electric beater until they become creamy.

•  Add the eggs one by one, stirring constantly.

•  Pour in the milk and beat some more.

•  Once the milk has been absorbed completely, carefully add the baking powder and flour and beat once again.


•  Line a muffin tray with paper cups and pour the mixture into each cup.

•  Place the tray in a pre-heated oven and bake the cupcakes at 180 degrees for about 20 to 40 minutes.

•  As baking time varies from one oven to the other, make sure you keep a check on the cupcakes throughout, sticking a toothpick in to see if they have cooked or not. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cupcakes are ready.

For the caramel sauce:

•  In a frying pan, melt the sugar until it turns a light brown colour.

•  In a separate cup or bowl, mix the milk powder and water into a thick paste and add the melted sugar to it.

•  Cook the paste on low flame until it gets and thickens.

•  Allow the mixture to cool in a refrigerator before pouring it over the cupcakes.

Apply the caramel sauce on the cupcakes, store them in an air tight container and refrigerate for the sauce to settle. Decorate the cupcakes if you please and serve on a flat dish. Your cupcakes are now ready.
