Yorkshire Tea Cupcakes

This I was requested to do a few months back by a friend, but I haven't had much time to make them. But this weekend was the best excuse, not that I had the free time, but because he needed cheering up and what Yorkshire man doesn't love Yorkshire tea?

Makes 12

For this recipe you will need:

140grams self raising flour

100grams caster sugar

1 egg

40grams unsalted butter

about 8 teabags

60ml semi-skimmed milk

icing sugar

Prep:

Take the milk and put in the teabags and leave it for two days, yes I may have over done it using 8 teabags but this way it really got the flavour through.

Method:

-first mix together the sugar, flour and butter until crumbly.

-add the egg and milk and stir until smooth.

-spoon into cupcake cases and bake at 170degree until golden, so about 20mins

For the icing:

I used basic water icing but instead of water I used the left over milk and a few tea leaves and just spooned it onto the top of the cakes.

And vola they are really yummy and enjoyed with even more tea. He may not be receiving all twelve after i've had my way with them.
