Betty's White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cupcakes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups baking mix and cup sugar. Add 3 ounces of crumbled white chocolate and a 2.25-ounce package of chopped macadamia nuts and stir. Mix together cup half-and-half, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1 well-beaten egg. Stir into dry ingredients. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon equal portions of batter into 12 muffin tins containing paper liners. Fill 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees (F) for 10 to 12 minutes, testing occasionally with a toothpick. When a toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. Remove cupcakes from oven and immediately place on a nice serving plate. These are wonderful when served warm, but you may also serve them at room temperature or chilled. With Mother's Day coming up, if you don't want to commit to making a cake, this is a smaller project that everyone will enjoy! I hope you like it! --Betty
