There are a lot of ingredients in this recipe, but the nice thing is that they are almost all pantry basics.

These cookies are incredibly simple to make and are wonderful to serve and eat any time of the year.

Ingredients

To give these cookies their intense vanilla taste, I use vanilla bean paste – a syrup made using vanilla bean pod seeds and vanilla extract. Vanilla bean paste can be hard to find in stores, so I suggest buying it online. An alternative to using it is to substitute 1:1 with vanilla extract and add the seeds from one vanilla bean pod.

Churro cupcakes are a fun option for Cinco de Mayo or anytime your want a special treat!

Ingredients

There aren’t any fancy ingredients in these cupcakes! Here are just a few things to note:

Cinnamon buttercream frosting is super easy to make. It comes together in just a few minutes and is ready to use on all of your favorite cakes and cupcakes. Dust with extra cinnamon sugar – like I do on my churro cupcakes – for something truly special!

Ingredients

The recipe doesn’t call for any fancy ingredients. Here are just a couple things to consider as you ingredient shop:

I made fried and air fried churros in the same day so I could directly compare the two. The air fryer ones were a lighter color and perhaps slightly more dry (not surprising), but they were really tasty. If I didn’t have the other ones right there for comparison, I probably wouldn’t have known the difference!

It’s worth giving this recipe a try for a special treat that is really easy to make.

The recipe makes enough for a crowd, but you might not want to share!

Ingredients and Equipment

There are no unusual ingredients in this recipe. In fact, you may already have them all in your pantry.

While I enjoy this cake year-round, I find it especially nice to enjoy on a warm day when heavy desserts feel like too much.

Ingredients and Equipment

This recipe uses superfine sugar, also known as caster sugar. Superfine sugar is, just as the name implies, a very finely ground sugar. Because it is so fine, it helps to keep the cake nice and light. If you don’t want to buy a whole package of superfine sugar, you can pulse regular granulated sugar in a food processor to create your own superfine sugar.
