How to Make Cupcakes with Pipettes
Here’s the fun part—baking up those fluffy cupcakes and prepping the pipettes. Trust me, once you’ve tried this, you’ll want to do it again for every party.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently—don’t overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners until they’re about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely. Warm cupcakes will melt the syrup.
- Fill each pipette with your favorite halal syrup. Insert at an angle into the center of each cupcake.
