Summary
Continuing the flour theme, he makes sweet cupcakes with self-raising flour, nearly equal sugar, milk, salt, lemon juice, and oil. He double-layers and oils paper cups, then air-fries four portions at 160°C for roughly 25–30 minutes to avoid raw centres. Cupcakes emerge deformed and stuck to paper; one falls, while the cake-like result tastes acceptable but needs more sugar.
Insight
Frugal cooking continues, with experimentation revealing practical problems in texture, shaping, and release.
