Frequently Asked Questions
These cupcakes taste perfect when you follow the recipe- the light balance of milkiness and sweetness from the honey.
If you really want to add a bit of texture and difference to the cupcakes, you can add some chopped nuts of your choice as well.

Tips & Tricks to Make the Milk and Honey Cupcakes
Ready to try this easy cupcake recipe? Wait up! You might want to take note of these little tips and tricks too.
- To get the perfect light and fluffy cupcakes, remember not to overmix the batter.
- Another tip to keep in mind is to always sift the flour and all the other dry ingredients. This aerates the mixture, which adds more sponginess to the cupcakes.
- Make sure you choose a fresh and good quality leavening agent to make the cupcakes. It will really help the cupcake batter rise and get more air in.
- Fill the cupcake liners with the batter only until they’re about ¾ full. This will give them enough space to rise and you’ll have the perfect-shaped and filled cupcakes you’re looking for.
- I would recommend using full fat milk for the recipe. The richness and creaminess it will lend the cupcakes isn’t something you’ll be able to achieve with low fat milk.
- To bring a bit of flavor variation to the cupcakes, you can also consider using any flavored honey of your choice. Lavender is a great choice and can lend you a fresh batch of milk and lavender honey cupcakes.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
You can enjoy these delicious milk and honey cupcakes as-is. Serve them for brunch, with evening tea or as a dessert- whatever you like.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can top them with a light honey buttercream frosting or a dusting of icing sugar.
Fresh berries can also be a wonderful addition to these cupcakes- or you could keep things simple with just a drizzle of honey.
