How to make cupcakes in mugs

What can and can not be done

Desserts in a mug are very easy to prepare. But the "safety technique" is still better to comply, so that all certainly turned out cool! These tips will help avoid annoying incidents and succeed at the first attempt.

• 
  Take the right mug: it should not be heated in a microwave - before cooking, put it on the oven for 1 minute. If the mug remained cold (well, or it became a little warm), everything is fine. You can use.


• 
  Do not try to keep the baking in the oven until it turns brown or a crust appears - this will not happen. If you keep longer than the specified time, the dessert will dry.


• 
  It is important to mix the ingredients thoroughly with a fork. If the whisking of the dough is not good enough, then because of the unmixed oil or lumps of flour, air pockets can form.


• 
  Fill the mug with a mixture no more than two thirds, otherwise when baking, the risen dough will spill out of it like a lava from a volcano.


• 
  Patience! Before you look into the microwave oven and check how the process is going on, wait at least three quarters of the indicated baking time. Otherwise, the dough will settle.


• 
  If you decide to turn the cupcake and put it on the dish, it should easily slip out of the mug (or shape) - provided that you do not forget to oil it or layer the food film.

And do not worry if your pastry bakes or explodes. The surviving part will still be very tasty.
