Limonini mafini s skutno kremo

Mafini so pecivo, ki ga je mogoče spreminjati po svojem okusu in željah.

Jaz vedno uživam pri peki in okraševanju teh malih kolačkov.

Sestavine:

  • 100 g mehkega masla
  • 100 g polnomastne skute ali svežega sira
  • 100 g rjavi sladkorja
  • nastrgana lupinica 1 limone
  • 2 jajci
  • 125 g moke
  • 1 čajna žlička pecilnega praška
  • 1/2 čajna žlička sode bikarbone

Za kremo:

  • 40 g mehkega masla
  • 80 g polnomastne skute (ali svežega sira)
  • 100 g presejanega sladkorja v prahu
  • nastrgana lupinica 1/2 limone

Pečico segrejemo na 180ºC. Maslo kremasto zmešamo s skuto, sladkorjem, limonino lupinico in jajci. Moko, pecilni prašek in sodo bikarbono zmešamo, presejemo na mešanico iz masla in jajc ter na hitro vmešamo. Testo enakomerno porazdelimo v modelčke za mafine in pečemo približno 25 minut. Medtem pripravimo kremo. Vse sestavine dobro premešamo in za približno 10 minut postavimo v hladilnik. Na ohlajene mafine porazdelimo kremo.
