How to make marijuana butter
One of the best ways to consume marijuana and benefit from its full potential is through the making of marijuana butter. Pay special attention to the dose, as the effect of marijuana in food is very different to when smoked. You should start with very small doses and gradually increase them depending on the needs of each person.
Ingredients:
- 180g all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (yeast)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 115g cannabutter at room temperature
- 200g sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120ml milk
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, fresh fruits, etc. to add additional flavor
Necessary materials:
- Cupcake mold
- Paper cupcake liners (optional)
- Electric or manual mixer
- Large bowls
- Sieve or strainer
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Baking sheet
- Baking paper or non-stick spray to grease the mold
Instructions for preparing cannabis cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and place the paper cupcake cases in a muffin tin. If you are not using paper liners, grease the muffin tin with butter or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Keep it for later.
- In another large bowl, beat the cannabutter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the bowl of butter and mix until combined. Then, add half of the milk and mix again. Repeat with the rest of the flour and milk.
- If desired, now is the time to add any additional ingredients to the dough, such as chocolate chips or nuts, and mix gently.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, you can decorate them with frosting, buttercream, melted chocolate, or any other topping of your choice.
