Royal cupcakes are a delicate treat worthy of true gourmets. These airy miniature pastries with a soft, velvety texture and light vanilla aroma come from Russian cuisine, where sweet pastries have always held a special place. Thanks to butter and the right ratio of flour and eggs, the dough achieves the perfect consistency—fluffy but not dry. A light sweetness and subtle vanilla accent make them ideal for cozy family tea times as well as festive occasions. They are quick to prepare, and their small size is convenient for serving. If desired, berries or cream can be added, turning them into a true culinary masterpiece.
