Oh boy was I glad to find this review! I just made these last night and they came out teeny tiny and like your experience, my butter didn’t solidify (and I’m in chilly WA state!) and I finally had to proceed with the recipe using the melted butter. These were really tasty, but disappointing for the amount of butter (!!) used in the recipe.

“Nigella doesn’t like her friends.” Wow, I know I would be ticked if I made cupcakes for a party and the recipe yielded far less than it claimed. Planning is essential in entertaining.

good review! i too am curious about how nigella translates to real world recipes…

oh and the one fact that really concerns me is the butter per serving… two and a half sticks of butter, divided into ten cupcakes… i’m just feeling gross about that.

I made these in January and had similar results (I posted about them right here.) I just chalked it up to my baking inexperience that the cupcakes were less dreamy than I had imagined. Thanks for your thoughts; knowing that I wasn't the only person with problems with the recipe gives me a little more confidence!
