Name: Sunday Brunch: Brown Sugar Breakfast Cakelets Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted; 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 large eggs, preferably room temperature; 1 cup packed brown sugar; 1/4 cup whole milk mixed with 1/4 cup plain yogurt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Servings: persons

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, preferably room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup whole milk mixed with 1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons plain yogurt

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0. Grease and flour a standard 12-cup muffin tin (you can use a bit of the melted flour and a teaspoon or two of the flour to do this).
2
Put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and whisk well to combine thoroughly.
3
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until blended and frothy. Whisk in the sugar and beat until well blended, about 1 minute.
4
Whisk the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, using as few strokes as possible and stopping just before the two are fully combined. Then whisk in the milk-yogurt mixture, the melted butter, and the vanilla. Pour the batter into the muffin tin; each well will be a little more than half full.
5
Bake for 15 minutes, or until a tester emerges clean. Set the muffin tin on a rack for 1 minute and then use a knife to flip each cakelet sideways in its well to cool completely.
6
Beat all ingredients together until uniformly combined, soft, and fluffy. Use immediately or store in refrigerator.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
