How to Make Beehives

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Grease a muffin tin or use paper liners.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
