Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
250 g plain flour, 150 g granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, cachaça, melted butter, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
2 large eggs, 125 ml milk, 75 ml cachaça, 100 g unsalted butter, 2 large limes
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lime juice to achieve a drizzling consistency.
100 g powdered sugar, 3 tbsp lime juice
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
For an added touch, lightly sprinkle the tops of the glazed muffins with granulated sugar. This will mimic the sugar in the traditional Caipirinha and add a slight crunch.
2 tbsp granulated sugar
