The Pink Full Moon is upon us. Pink because the first flowers of Spring are popping up and spreading their joy.
Some of you may be celebrating with house cleaning, long walks out of doors, or with ritual and feasting. No matter your method of jubilation, you might consider ending it with the consumption of cakes and ale.

Happy second moon #Babysatyr!
Just one egg?
Yep, they are light and fluffy. A second egg would make them more dense and cakey.
Dense
Yep. It is a small batch of minicakes. Unless they are medium, they you will want to consider two.
Yes, these are very light and airy. Additional eggs would instill density.
How mamy mini muffins does this make?
Does this recipe work with regular sized muffin tins?
An excellent question, which I will answer in reverse, while I look up my recipe. LOL
Yes, these work with regular muffins, but I believe you need to double at that point, if I remember correctly, to get a whole muffin.
Recipe says 12 mini muffins (I need to remember to include how many a recipe serves going forward and go back and add to all recipes).
Doing a quick water volume test of my muffin pans, I see that mini muffins are full at 2 tbsp, muffins are near full at 4 tbsp, and star shaped are the same as a full muffin. So, yes, double the recipe to get a full twelve muffins.
