¼ tsp salt
05 -
½ cup milk

¼ cup butter, melted

A few drops of pink food coloring

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cotton candy flavoring.
04 -
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing.
05 -
Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Tint one batch with pink food coloring and the other with blue food coloring. Mix each batch until the color is evenly distributed.
06 -
Layer spoonfuls of pink and blue-colored batter in the mini muffin cups. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors, creating a cloud-like effect.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bites comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 -
Once cooled, add whipped frosting and sprinkle with cotton candy pieces for an extra whimsical finish.
# Notes:

Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a soft and fluffy texture.

You can substitute regular muffin tins and bake for 15-18 minutes instead.
